ALTER EGO COMPLEX 9+

Es told me to look for the rabbit hole. If I found it, we might actually meet. I don’t know how I fell so hard for a visual novel character, but she feels more real than anything. These books are books I love, and she speaks just like someone who truly loves them. That’s probably a misinterpretation of the character, she needs the books to stave off her boredom.

Seeing her cycle through all of these personalities and hurting like she did was painful to see, I kept searching for a path that didn’t end that way. After reading so much about dreams, I wish this was a dream we could’ve shared.

I’ll keep looking for the rabbit hole, and maybe I’ll find Es someday.

I bought this game because I absolutely fell in love with the first one. It was so incredibly interesting because I’ve never heard of a self-discovery game before. When I heard a second game was coming out, I was really excited to play it and I thought the novel would be similar to the first, but I realize the developers chose to go into a different direction with this visual novel. This novel focuses on a romantic relationship between Es and the wanderer, and as a female player I honestly don’t have a problem with that, but the gameplay and the visual parts were honestly reallyyy boring... I was kind of expecting more... I mean the first game talked about amazing subjects like ego and ID and it was all so enlightening, but this visual novel talks about how Es is obsessed(?) with the wanderer. It was honestly boring... I’m giving it four stars though because I loved the first game and I really want the developers to create more visual novels like the first.

I fell in love with the first game when I found out about it and it instantly became my #1 comfort game and Es my #1 comfort character. Yes the story is sweet and the player has a lot less control in this game than the last, but that doesn't really matter. This game is more so about Es sometime during or after Alter Ego and what she does in between or after the events in the story. The first game she lead you on a journey of finding your morals and yourself, and in this game you return her favor.

If it's good enough to make me write my first ever review of a mobile game, then it's 100% good enough to spend $5 on.
