Alice: Madness Returns has once again disappeared from Steam.
Alice’s disappearance will be particularly frustrating for some, as the 2011 game only returned to Steam in February 2022 after a DRM issue saw it removed from sale for almost five years. Now, just a few months later, it’s gone again.
The reason for its sudden and unexpected disappearance? It’s not entirely clear. Steam’s not giving away much; Alice: Madness Returns’ Steam page simply says “at the request of the publisher, Alice: Madness Returns is no longer available for sale on Steam”, which is a blanket statement that covers pretty much anything and everything.
