* AnAesop:
** [[spoiler:Children being forced into being sex workers is bad.]] This is a massive problem, especially in third world countries, that doesn't get much attention.
** Don't let your own issues blind you to reality. Alice saw several red flags (if her scattered memory fragments of him are any indication) that [[spoiler:Dr. Bumby didn't have her best interests at heart]], but she [[spoiler:allowed him to try and erase her memories because forgetting her past was easier than dealing with her pain]]. She was also so caught up in her own problems that she completely failed to see the abuse that was happening to the other orphans.

%%* DropTheHammer: The Hobby Horse.

* CrapsackWorldEscapistSanctuary: Victorian London is a polluted industrial metropolis rife with violence, crime, social inequality, greed, misogyny, rape, and despair. The mentally ill are "treated" through abuse and exploitation, children are prey to all kinds of horrors, and the few do-gooders still around are helpless. Unsurprisingly, [[HurtingHero Alice]] is strongly tempted to return to her HappyPlace of Wonderland and despite her best efforts to live in the real world following the events of the previous game, more focus is given to fixing Wonderland than solving real-world problems - to the point that Alice doesn't notice that [[spoiler: [[BigBad Dr Bumby]] has been brainwashing her fellow orphans and pimping them out to wealthy clients, and is secretly trying to erase Alice's memories so she won't remember that he was responsible for the fire that killed her family.]] In the end, [[spoiler: after discovering that Dr Bumby [[VillainWithGoodPublicity can't be brought to justice for his crimes]], Alice opts to just [[LaserGuidedKarma shove him in front of a train]], then [[BittersweetEnding retreats into the rebuilt Wonderland]] rather than put up with another minute of the hell that is London.]]

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Alice's Siren, Flesh Maiden, and Hattress outfits all have her barefoot. In the case of the Maiden and Hattress, this makes sense due to their twisted nature(specifically Flesh Maiden, where her legs are ''covered'' in blood). For the Siren, however, you might double-take her sudden lack of footwear when she wakes up in the Deluded Depths.

The game's creator planned a third game and has already written the storyline for it. Due to legal and copyright issues, however, this could not be achieved at that time. A [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spicyhorse/alice-otherlands/ successful Kickstarter]] to produce two animated shorts based on the idea was fully funded in August 2013. They were completed in 2015.
