I miss some sort of Background music. Even if just a gentile piano song at some points.
I miss some sort of backgrounds. At least, to give a mood of where they are. (but I don't miss ambient sfx)
I miss being able to raise volume for voices. I had to boost my speakers to 130% because even at 100% (and the VN already comes with sound at 100% by default) I couldn't hear right.
I miss some sort of credits at the end.
With the bad out of the way, here's the good
Alice is so so well done. The voice acting does an awesome job compensating for no BGM. Every VA did a really good job with their acting to portray each character with its own personality and individuality in a story written to allow them to shine through! However, Ciara (Alice) really stands out in how not-human-but-borderline-human she sounds. Regardless, everyone is so so believable. How were you able to find such a good roister of voice actors?!?!
Although no camera work, there's still some nice work put into the sprites that is almost as good as also having camera work. Good job!
I found it funny how everyone is completely oblivious about Alice's weird antics until someone actually touches her or she reveals it.
However, I really like that, if chosen a few of the correct options they tell Alice they like her although she's not human. Way better than so many stories where they go into "you're more human than humans" kind of stuff we are spoonfed by media. Anyway, they tell her she's loved regardless, due to how she is.
(By the way, I really would like if there was a way to get the vending machine taken care of by Alice. It should be fun.)
Alternatively, she tries to execute the alternative way to trying to become human, which is equally well executed and ends up in a well-written tragedy made very real by the voice actors.
The sprite acting is done right and feels a lot like a school play but without as much movement. Bring the actors to the scene. Play the actors and remove the actors from the scene. For that vibe it's done nicely.
Thank you for doing this VN. It was a great experience.

Hum... This one is a very unexpected mixed bag.
SPOILER WARNING
I'll start with the bad because it's shorter.
