I know I get that, its just that Alice is both the name of the game and the name of the character, one of which he created and the other he didn't. There's not a great way to phrase it, but it makes it sound like he created the character Alice, which he did not.

    She is named after and inspired by the Alice of Lewis Carrol's books, but she's a very different take on her. He created this version of her.
