Not the life you have right now, but the one you could have had. I think it would be vastly improved even if it remained nearly the same, but with options down the road to choose partners of different genders, choose pronouns, come out as a specific sexuality, change names, and options to come out as transgender (with the gameplay literally switching from “Male script” to “Female script”, or vice versa), with specific characters responding accordingly.Life. I don’t think the game needs a “modern LGBT twist”. Do I choose an entire lifetime of male experiences in order to have a love life that includes women? Or do I choose a life of female experiences and accept that the entire romantic dimension of the game will center around men? More than once I’ve ended the game a spinster. As a lesbian, this pulls me out of the gameplay experience every time. One thing that stood out to me from the start was the lack of LGBT options.
#Adult alter ego game simulator
It’s a solid game and I personally love a good life simulator like this one.
I’d say it’s less “addictive” than well written enough to give you room to explore different lives while retaining its replay value. Okay, so I’ve played this game about a dozen times. It is worth every penny you’ll spend on it. I guarantee you it’s even better than that once you dip below the surface. I seriously recommend Alter Ego to anyone who likes the idea of everything I’ve talked about and thinks it sounds even slightly fun. I could gush for ages about the unexpected engagement and entertainment this text-based adventure has given me all these years. Your character will face emotional yet realistic tribulations, like mental health crises and affairs and near-death experiences (or maybe just a horrible, crushing premature death). The childhood sections of the game feels bittersweet and nostalgic every time I go through them, and the older adult/elder sections hit hard and make me feel more empathy for real-life folks in their twilight years. The comedy scenes are hilariously cheesy (this is a port of a 1986 game, after all!), and it successfully builds on stories of relatable growing pains to deliver compelling scenarios for your alter ego to navigate. It’s almost entirely text-based, which is no problem at all since it’s so well written. Basically, it’s a fantastic life sim with a *lot* of replayability, thanks to its RPG-like stats system and its huge branching stories. I’ve had this game on my devices since around 2011 and find myself still coming back to it seven years later, so it feels criminal to not leave a review. 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.) The current edition of the Alter Ego game is a production of Choose Multiple LLC. (Alter Ego was originally published in 1986 for the Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Apple II, and Macintosh. 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. Alter Ego starts at birth and ends at death, including two substantially different versions, depending on whether you choose to be male or female. 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. In this text-based interactive fiction, you choose what happens next. What if you could live your life over again?
