The game's premise is based on the Lewis Carroll novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871) but presents a gloomy, cruel and violent version of the setting. The game centers on the novels' protagonist Alice, whose family is killed in a house fire years before the story of the game takes place. After several years of treatment in a psychiatric clinic, the emotionally traumatized Alice makes a mental retreat to Wonderland, which has been disfigured by her injured psyche.
American McGee's Alice uses the id Tech 3 game engine, which was previously used in Quake III Arena and redesigned for this game by Ritual Entertainment. The game was met with positive critical reception, with reviewers commending the high artistic and technical quality of the level design while criticizing the excessive linearity of the gameplay. As of September 2017, American McGee's Alice has sold over 1.5 million copies. A sequel, Alice: Madness Returns, was released in 2011.

Couldn’t load default.cfg
you can usually fix this by deleting the “config.cfg”
file located in the BASE subdirectory where you installed Alice.
2)
Also make sure to install the game under your Programs files (86X) folder ; it should liike like this
(c:)//ProgramFiles(86X)/American_McGees_Alice_Win_Preinstalled_EN
This should solve the issue with character voices..
Follow these steps and you should be good to go …
