User Reviews

Alter Ego is a nostalgic, text-based life simulation game adapted faithfully from its 1980s original. Players appreciate its unique, entertaining gameplay and enjoy exploring life choices across multiple playthroughs, sometimes sharing the experience with friends. However, many criticize the lack of LGBTQ+ representation and the game's linear, restrictive nature that often punishes non-conforming decisions. Users also mention pacing and UI frustrations, and feel the game's price doesn't match its limited content and replay value.

Pros

Nostalgic and faithful adaptation of a classic 1980s life simulation game.
Unique and entertaining text-based gameplay without graphics.
Useful as a learning tool to understand life and relationships from a different perspective.
Enjoyable when played in a group as a shared experience.
Multiple playthroughs allow exploration of different life paths and outcomes.

Cons

Lacks options for LGBTQ+ orientations and gender identities, which many users find limiting or outdated.
Gameplay is quite linear with limited variation; choices often lead to similar outcomes and same playthrough experiences.
The game can feel judgmental or restrictive, sometimes penalizing genuine player choices or attempts to deviate from 'scripted' paths.
User interface and game pacing issues: hurried transitions between life stages, clunky menus, and the quiz at start has little impact on the game.
Price considered too high for the amount of content and replayability, especially given its limited features compared to other modern life simulation games.

Recent reviews

Love it. Just wishing the story could have been made in a time where America is more progressive and give the option to date the same sex or the option to be non-binary, regardless i like the outcomes.

It's really disappointing that you are forced to be straight, and there are options whatsoever about exploring sexuality or gender. This normally wouldn't bother me, except in the childhood and adolescent stages, romance is extremely pushed on you, and the text will constantly describe how "stunning" and "attractive" members of the opposite sex are. Really feels like the heterosexuality is shoved down your throat.
