ALTER EGO 9+

I’ll say this once and once only: This game is strictly not for gamers, as gameplay will certainly not match their standards of what’s considered “gameplay”.

I’ll get the basics out of the way:
> Nice design
> Really calm and soft OST
> No pay to win in sight
> Not a single intrusive ad anywhere (take that VooDoo)
> Has everything a clicker game should have
> Nice anime character design
> Clean interface
> A game that shouldn’t be done in one sitting

Alright, that’s out of the way, now for the real review. I mean, the real, in-depth and detailed review a developer like you wants to see, and this isn’t a bot review either.

I found this game at the right time. I found myself at a difficult time of existential based questions, asking myself what kind of person I am and I see this “game”, or I should say experience, on the App Store. Apart from the tranquil soundtrack and gameplay of collecting what’s known as “EGO” and spamming the auto-collectors, I find myself resonating with what one could consider as a side character named “Es”, as you, the player, are the main characters.

The description of this game clearly states that this is about self discovery, meaning this won’t be for everyone, unfortunately, but for those who need something to help find who they are, this is a place to start. You won’t find your answer here, but the game will show you real life novels that have been written based on the theme of self-discovery. If you find yourself consistently looking at yourself as a self-loathing person, hang out with Es for a bit. She’ll be a little cold, yes, but trust me, with the personality tests and stories that you, and you personally, will interpret, you’ll forget this is even a game.

It’s strange how a game worth 10.99 that’s free is something that will help me with seeing who I am.

87/100

Honestly this is prob one of the better IOS Games out there; while it doesn’t play like a game, and is more akin to a visual novel. It is still something someone should try. The art style and storytelling is great; there is a lot of philosophical and psychological questions that you ask urself throughout the game, and it’s a great way to really see who you really are. 90/10

Not only a game to somewhat discover who you are, but a game about patience and how you perceive things..
I truly believe everyone should at least play this game once.. I just finished my first playthrough and... Okay, okay, no spoilers, but this game is amazing!
The illustrations and everything is absolutely 10/10..
This game is now officially one of my favourite and memorable games I’ve ever played..
