Alter Ego in IOS

A life simulation game

Our Expert Score

83/100

Alter Ego is a unique psychological RPG that feels like a cross between a choose-your-own-adventure book and a personality test. It’s a very different experience than your standard mobile game; it asks you to reflect on your own values, fears, and desires. The narrative is haunting and philosophical, guided by the mysterious character 'Es.'

The gameplay is simple—mostly tapping and making choices—but the impact of those choices is significant. The game actually provides a personality analysis at the end, which is surprisingly insightful. It’s a moody, atmospheric, and deeply personal journey that sticks with you long after you've finished it. If you're looking for something with more emotional depth than a typical puzzle game, Alter Ego is a must-play.

What if you could live your life over again?

In this text-based interactive fiction, you choose what happens next. It's in the style of pick-a-path gamebooks, but with over a thousand multiple-choice questions, it's much longer and deeper than traditional gamebooks. Alter Ego starts at birth and ends at death, including two substantially different versions, depending on whether you choose to be male or female.

Will you grow up to be confident and happy? Will you fight with bullies, or befriend them? Will you find a date to the senior prom? Will you marry and have kids, or start your own business and become a millionaire? The choice is yours.

This game will change your life.

(Alter Ego was originally published in 1986 for the Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Apple II, and Macintosh. The current edition of the Alter Ego game is a production of Choose Multiple LLC. This edition includes an updated interface and fixes bugs in the original version of the game, but the content of the game hasn't changed from the original 1986 version of the game.)
