"As the heroine of this Visual Romantic Novel, your journey begins as you wake up in a pitch black world. You have no memory of who you or where you are. You begin to wander aimlessly, hoping that you might come across something to reawaken your memories. Suddenly, you feel a strange presence grabbing your legs, and you sprint away in fear. You wish for nothing more than to escape this world.

As you continue your journey, you encounter a handsome young man with an antisocial attitude. He has also lost his memory entirely, except for the name 'Alice,' by which he introduces himself. He then refers to you by the last name 'Alice.' The young man shows no desire to travel with you, but you succeed in convincing him to accompany you.

The plot thickens as you stumble upon glowing crystals with reflective surfaces. As you touch one, it ignites into a bright glow. As the light dies down, you see images of two staggeringly handsome young men, reflected on opposite sides of the crystal. Their names are 'Cinderella' and 'Red Riding Hood.' Alice requests that you select one, and your romantic adventure commences. Lead each prince through their unique storylines to fairy tale endings."

An English translation of Taisho Alice was released a few days ago by the company E2 Gaming.

Everyone already knows that E2 Gaming did some really shady stuff with Taisho Alice, but their behavior only continues to get shadier. 

What I can only assume came from the horrible controversy on their facebook and the backlash they have received from fans, E2 Gaming has completely deleted their Facebook page. When I tried to pull it up from a Google search, this was what I found. 

However, the website for E2 Gaming is still up and running. 

It’s obvious now that their goal in deleting the page was to hide and quell the fan outcry in order to sell more of their abysmal localization attempts. They are trying to deceive their customers so they can continue to produce horrible content. They are disrespecting the Western otome audience, the otome audience as a whole and, more than anyone else, they are severely disrespecting Primula. 

At this point, it’s up to the fans on social media to expose them. Speak out against them at every turn. Reblog as many posts that have the truth and explain what is going on. If you see someone posting about wanting to buy the game or talking about it, make sure they know what they’re getting into. 

If you’re considering buying the game as I joke, I would sincerely reconsider. Giving money to this sham of a company is not a good idea and will only benefit them. If you want to benefit Primula and not E2, buy the Japanese version of Taisho Alice. You can find it on Amazon. If you want to support western releases, buy Aksys Games’ and Idea Factory International’s localizations as well as others like Nightshade that were grabbed from respectable indie companies. 

The person/people behind E2 are liars and scam artists. Do not touch Vol. 2 when it launches. Make sure they know we will not tolerate this kind of treatment. The western fans like myself have worked very hard to support the localization of otome games, and to see how people are trying to take advantage of our small market is disgusting. 

E2 Gaming the company localizing Taisho Alice Just Updated their facebook page with some new information and a preview of the narration. Here is all the info exactly as it was posted on E2 Gaming fb page:

“- The first title in the series is fully translated into English. We are now in the process of technical integration and quality assurance. - We have been successful in raising more investment than is necessary to localize all four titles in the series, so there is no longer any need for Kickstarter or public fundraising. The release of all four titles is 100% guaranteed through private equity alone. - Great news for Spanish speaking Otome fans! With the excess investment that we raised, we will also be localizing all four titles into Spanish. - E2 Gaming/Primula will be attending Wizard World Comic Con Chicago this weekend. Please stop by our booth to receive a free Taisho Alice promotional poster! - Here is a quick snippet of localized text from Taisho Alice Volume 1. We will update you again when the second title in the series is fully localized.”
