About Alternate Existence
Alternate Existence is a choice-based visual novel about a 22-year-old man with no memory of his parents, who grew up moving between foster families. Now working for minimum wage at a diner and studying astronomy in his spare time, he meets a stranger who offers him a possible way out of his life, at a price. As he considers the offer, he senses that another existence may be within reach.
Story and relationships
You guide the protagonist as he looks for love, sex and a better life. The story features women whose relationships are part of the narrative and cannot be opted out of, as well as others you can choose to date, spend time with or have sex with—or decline. You can also choose a girlfriend from two options at the start. Turning down time with a woman does not remove the sexual content involving the story-driven characters.
Some characters from Retrieving the Past also appear in Alternate Existence; both games share a universe. The game is intended for adults, and all characters depicted sexually are over 18.
Season 1 content
Season 1 contains 6,597 images, 339 animations, 28,256 lines of dialogue and code, and 90 sound files.
