Alter Ego

What if you could live your life over again?
Category Price Seller Device
Games $4.99 Choose Multiple LLC iPhone, iPad, iPod

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.

Back button?
Mebethie

I enjoy the game very much. I appreciate it’s good balance of sound advice. I highly appreciated the sexual content notice. Sometimes I do wish there was a back button, so it’s nice it is listed on some options such as leave this icon and don’t do anything. Even if it was just to view the previous screen again, that would be nice. Perhaps, bookmarks to go back from a certain specific point.


Only have one problem but it's a real biggie

I love this game, but I think the separate games for male and female need to go away. For example, in one scene you have the option to fight a guy, but for the female version it says you don't even want to mess with him and you can only call the cops. And in a childhood scene where there's fighting in the female version it's the stereotypical catfighting.


Greatest game I’ve ever played

When i first got this game i was 8 yrs old. My brother got it for me and i gave it a try. The game taught me so many life lessons in the time in my life where i am most vulnerable to being influenced. I keep on coming back to the game like every two years. I’m gonna start the game again for the third time today. I love this game so much and recommend it to everyone.


Very fun!!

This game is very interesting and unique! It can take a little bit of time (2+ hours) depending on how you play or what you do but can be played multiple times and still be very fun. Overall, it’s an incredibly entertaining game that I will definitely recommend to friends. Good job creators!! :)


Amazing

I normally don’t write reviews but when I saw this only had 53 I knew had to write something. This game is soo much fun. You actually make choices that affect your character unlike in other games that claim to do the same. This game deserves so much more recognition. It would be awesome if it were updated a bit if you could be born into a single parent home or be born a gay character. But I realize that this is a script game and would require so much work. However, do know that many people would buy it if you were to do so. The alter ego forms where they suggest updates or changes have many people on them so I do believe you could make money if you did the new scripts for the changes you could make.


Great game
I love dogs???✨✨✨☃️☃️☃️

This is an amazing game. All of it's basically text based, and it's fun to go through all 7 stages in the game, or however long you last. I've had this game for about 2 years now, and I can't bring myself to delete it.


A great game

I really wish the lives lasted longer than this, but this was great. I love it so much. I’m gonna go play it again. Bye!


Good game but no updates ever

I’ve loved this game since I played it on big floppy discs on a Commodore 64 in the late 80s, I think it was. Good to have a phone version but I’d love it a lot more if it had EVER been updated since it was first written. Some scenarios still seem timeless, but some are dated...i.e., no references to cell phones or other modern trends. Names for who you meet and your kids need a lot more options! And no matter what you name your kids, the game gives them different names. For example, I named my daughter Olivia, but in every “have a family experience” scenario, it refers to her as “Kathy.” Some of the events are handled rather harshly, such as the abrupt death of parents. Overall though, pretty interesting game that can have a lot of twists and turns. One last word though...GRAPHICS? It’s about time.
