Discover the classic tale of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in a whole new way. A gaming experience where you get to feel what it's like to dive inside a novel as a small dot. Roll left and right, rewind time, and venture deeper through the story as you try to find your way back home.
Story of the Lost Dot
SteamThe Story of the Lost Dot is a unique, simple, and fun casual game where you play as a small dot fallen from your place after 'THE END' in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Literally dive into the novel's text and begin a story of your own within Carroll's timeless classic.
Controls are simple: you can roll left or right and rewind time.

You will go deeper and deeper inside the novel, trying to find your way, avoiding traps and enemies. You need to find your way back to the end where you belong to make the story complete again.

The game's black and white aesthetic features real art from John Tenniel, who originally illustrated the book, creating a timeless bridge between Carroll's Victorian era and our digital age.

You are not alone. You can communicate with other players in the game's guestbook and compete with others by collecting points. Points are based on the actual letter frequency in Carroll's original text – rare letters reward you with higher scores, while common ones offer steady progress.
"THE END" was the last word in
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
that Lewis Carroll wrote.
And you were the last dot.
That dot after "THE END".
The last dot that every story has.
Then something strange happened.
Now you need to find your way back.
And make the story complete again."
As a father of two little daughters, I spend countless evenings reading children's books aloud. One night, while reading Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, something magical happened. In my mind's eye, I saw a single dot falling through the letters on the page – a tiny punctuation mark tumbling through the words.
That moment of inspiration became the seed for The Story of the Lost Dot. I knew right away that I needed to make a game of this vision I had. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written in 1865, belongs to the public domain, which allowed me to build my game around this classic tale.
