Alice in Musicland

Alice in Music Land (also known as Alice in a Musical Country as it has sometimes been translated as) is one of those mid-90s PC obscurities that feels like it could've been conceived in an alternative world through a looking glass. Released in 1996 for Windows 3.1 by the Russian publisher So\USE Interactive Entertainment, it was produced in a very small print run (manufactured in Sweden, of all places) and quietly slipped out of sight on its way to the English speaking world. Despite its obscurity, it later found its way onto Russia's official list of recommended educational music software, leading schools, libraries, and even kindergartens to acquire it. The game supports both Russian and English, further underscoring its unusual international ambitions for the time.
