Alter Ego is a game that offers players a way to discover themselves by walking down a path of uncertainty.
Graphics (★★★★☆)
✔️ Gothic Japanese manga style with eerie vibes
Story (★★★☆☆)
✔️ A mashup of genres (Literature, Philosophy and Psychology)
✔️ Unique conversational storytelling with an array of personality tests
✔️ Touches on life lessons (Such as self-discovery and the meaning of life)
❌ Literal translations
❌ Romanticises on serious topics (Such as mental illness and depression)
❌ Loses its flare after a while
Gameplay (★★☆☆☆)
✔️ A mashup of game elements (Visual novel, idle clicker and management game mechanics)
✔️ Dialogue choices will affect the ending you unlock
✔️ Multiple endings available
❌ Slow-paced (Unless you watch ads to gain more in-game currency)
❌ Repetitive grind to collect in-game currency
❌ Intrusive ads
Audio (★★★★☆)
✔️ Therapeutic soundscape
Verdict (★★★★★★☆☆☆☆)
Despite being a unique spin on a typical ‘Choose Your Adventure’ game, I’d say that Alter Ego didn’t hit the nail at all. Despite their fantastic theming and unique concept, nothing else seems to be able to retain my attention (especially the literal translations). It was quite a turn off really.
Unless you’re searching for a creative and unique experience, I’d recommend you to go for something more exciting.

One-of-a-kind
This is an amazing game! It’s so thoughtfully made, with so much attention to detail, and is a pleasure to play. Alter Ego is surprisingly thoughtful for a game, which we generally view as being shallow since they’re for entertainment. There’s a lot of philosophy imbued into this game, and some good book referenced (I recommend reading them). All in all, this is a thoughtful little gem that will challenge you to think about yourself. There’s great replay value (it’s pretty much necessary to fully experience the game) and the overall production of the game is so unique and charming, if you think this might interest you in the slightest, I’d definitely give it a go!
