This episode in this poetic digital transmedia novel brings Alice to an England that is just as perilous as the other places she has lived in, but in a different way. Now 14 years old, Alice’s own actions, prompted by her friends, get her into trouble and she needs to get herself out of it, rather than depend on outside forces to help her. An intriguing aspect of this episode is its self-referentiality, showing flashbacks to Episodes 1 and 3, but more importantly through Alice’s program “iStories” which help her friends write their own stories by choosing photos and adding text and sounds to them. In a nutshell, this is the method to Inanimate Alice except the text isn’t just placed on the image statically, it is also kinetic in significant ways.
