One of the interesting things about this game, that makes it stand out a bit more, is the concept that it brings you through a lifetime of your character, from the very beginning.
You’re given various choices and you can guide your Alter Ego through a whole lifetime. It presents a series of text adventure style story, told in the second person, much like a ‘choose your own adventure’ style book. Clicking on one of them will open a window of a moment in your Alter Ego’s lifetime. Each icon on the map represents a different category of life such as social, emotional, or intellectual. There is an hourglass icon to the top right, for selecting different stages, as well. Once you get past those early bits, you’re presented with a tall, ‘timeline’ style chart or map. It tells about your birth, includes a short survey of your personality, and sets up the whole game from there on. The beginning is text, as is most of the game. I was relieved, therefore, when I got a bit more into the game and discovered a whole new world, built on the concept and title of “Alter Ego” This is a text adventure, but with a twist. I have been known to enjoy a text adventure or two in my day, but I wasn’t going to be impressed by one, I felt sure. Here is my explanation and review of the game:Īt first, when I started playing Alter Ego, I began to feel a slow disappointment build, as it appeared to be nothing more than a text adventure, with the occasional picture thrown in. In fact, they declare that it is easier to play the game than to attempt an explanation, so I thought I would give it a try. The website for Alter Ego says the concept and idea is difficult to explain. The complexities of a human lifetime is a daunting task to take on for a simulation but Alter Ego makes a valiant attempt at it. It’s a text adventure built on the idea of guiding another ‘you’ through his or her entire lifetime.

Alter Ego is a great game full of humor and insight, and is a revival of a much older game and genre.
