Alter Ego

Alter Ego is a text-based interactive fiction in which you make choices that shape a life from birth to death. It uses a pick-a-path format with over a thousand multiple-choice questions, making it longer and deeper than traditional gamebooks.

A life shaped by choices

The game includes two substantially different versions, depending on whether you choose to be male or female. Your choices shape how you grow up and what happens along the way: you might become confident and happy, fight with bullies or befriend them, and find a date for the senior prom. Later, you can marry and have children, or start a business and become a millionaire.

The current edition

This edition has an updated interface and fixes bugs from the original 1986 game. Its content is unchanged from that version.
