[[File:REAlistairPromoPoster---art_2768.jpg|frame|[[Redheaded Hero|Merui]], [[The Quiet One|Shiro]], [[Casanova|Derek]] and ["[Kuudere|Travis"]]]]
 
[[Gamer Chick|Merui]] loves nothing more than to play her favorite MMO ''Rivenwell Online''. One day a player named [[Jerkass|Alistair]] hijacks Merui's kill in a boss fight and wins the Blessed Stone she aimed to get for herself. Merui, outraged by this, is determined to do whatever it takes to get it back (and to teach Alistair a lesson). This results in a [[The Bet|bet]] initiated by Alistair:
Line 8:
With a lead and three potential suspects the player must guide Merui in this mystery. Along the way she may very well develop a romance with any of the three guys she's out to investigate...
 
'''''RE: Alistair''''' is a [[Freeware]] OELVN created by sakevisual with writer sake-bento, artist tooaya and programmer Thee Forbidden One. It focuses heavily on romance and dating, with the mystery being secondary.
 
The creators put out an updated re-release: ''RE: Alistair++''. It can be downloaded from [http://www.sakevisual.com/realistair/index.html the creator's website] or from [http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6726 Lemmasoft Forums].

----
=== This visual novel contains examples of: ===
 
* {{spoiler|[[Affably Evil]]: Derek goes out of his way to be as nice and appealing as possible. All while emotionally manipulating Merui.}}
* [[Backstory]]: Shiro gets the better end of this (in both the original release and the re-release). Derek stays more or less the same in both versions. Travis gets a little more in the re-release, {{spoiler|though the part about his mother having cancer feels a bit...tacked on.}}
* [[The Bet]]: Basically what the story revolves around.
* [[Big Man Onon Campus]]: Derek
* [[Bishoujo]]: The art style falls into this.
* [[Bland-Name Product]] The [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] is called "Rivenwell Online" ( {{spoiler|[[Maple Story]]/Ragnarok Online}}). Stores in the mall include "Boundary's Books" ( {{spoiler|Borders Books}}), "The Divide" ( {{spoiler|The Gap}}), and "Gamego" ( {{spoiler|1=GameStop}}). Boundary's sells a book called "Planetost" ( {{spoiler|like [[Harry Potter]], but with aliens instead of wizards}}), and Gamego sells "Movie Maniac" ( {{spoiler|1=SceneIt}}), "Diamond Moon: Final Phase" ( {{spoiler|[[Sailor Moon]], [[Final Fantasy]]}}), "Other Saga" ( {{spoiler|[[Excel Saga (Mangamanga)|Excel Saga]]???}}), "Monochrome Diet" ( {{spoiler|[[Silent Hill]]???}}), "Demon of Edo" ( {{spoiler|[[Inuyasha]]}}), "Walk This Way" (???, puzzle game), and "Rock Festival" ( {{spoiler|[[Rock Band]]}}).
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead|Blond, Brunette, Redhead]]: Derek (blond), Shiro + Travis (brunette), and Merui (redhead)
* {{spoiler|[[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Derek turns out to be the one who's Alistair. He spends the story stringing Merui along knowing who her online persona is. Unless the player chooses to pursue him as a love interest he remains a bastard. Even when confronted he never intends to make good on his part of the deal.}}
Line 27 ⟶ 25:
* [[Casanova]]: Derek. {{spoiler|He starts out like this but, if you play his route, he'll gradually become a [[Ladykiller in Love]].}}
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Travis: "Hm...I wonder." Merui even pokes fun with it at one point.
{{quote| '''Merui''': Do you always have to say that?}}
* [[Club President]]: Travis is president of the Computer Games Club.
* [[Crash Into Hello]]: Both Travis and Shiro have a scene in which Merui loses her footing and falls into them.
Line 68 ⟶ 66:
* [[Super-Deformed]]: The appearance of the ''Rivenwell Online'' characters
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Shiro does this once when trying to help Merui with a riddle.
{{quote| '''Shrio:''' I'm not saying you can't figure it out on your own... or anything...}}
* [[Take a Third Option]] - Regarding Travis's riddle about knights who always tell the truth and demons who always lie.
{{quote| '''Merui:''' Couldn't you just ask something like "is one plus one equal to two?" and whoever says no is the liar?<br />
'''Travis:''' ...It doesn't work that way.<br />
'''Merui:''' In other words, yes, and you don't want to admit it. }}
* [[Tsundere]]: Merui, type B. Normally sweet, but do ''not'' make her mad.
