American McGee's Alice

I picked this up from a bargain bin, sans instructions, controls and story. Can anyone help me out with this? or direct me to a page that explains most of it? thanks!

I have that game sittin around here. If noone has given you a site by the time I find it, I can type out the basic instructions for ya.

look= mouse
move forward/back = W / S
Strafe = A / D
Turn left / right = right an left arrow keys
jump,swim up, jump off vines = Spacebar
climb down vines = F
camera look = tab
walk = hold shift while moving forward
use items ( like doors , levers, etc.) = Enter
Summon cheshier cat = C
Pause (go to main menu) = ESC
Pause ( press again to resume) = Pause key
Quick load = F1
Quick save = F4

Primary attack = left mouse button
Secondary attack = Right mouse button
cycle through toys = [ ] (brackets)

I've never played the game so cant really give any tips ( bought it for my girlfriend) Hope this helps a little. I know there are some decent walkthroughs online though if you need them.

It's quite a good game, although it gets a bit repetitive after a while. Graphics were outstanding for their day, some of the puzzles are very clever, and the story and settings are really creepy. Didn't get great reviews when it came out but I believe a lot of that was complaint over the high system requirements... with all the graphics options up it's a very cool looking environment.

Thanks, that helps (awkward controls, but meh), and I found a site explaining everything else. So I'm all set.

The controls are totally customizable if I remember right... but maybe you have to edit the cfg file to do it (the program is based on the quake engine, so I'm pretty much positive controls are totally customizable).
