ALTER EGO

ALTER EGO is an Android psychoanalysis simulation game centred on diagnostic activities and a mystery built around an enigmatic woman known as “S”. The game combines elements of a diagnosis game, an adventure game, and a storytelling experience, so progress comes from both the diagnostic activities and the dialogue that moves the narrative forward.

Objective and storyline

The stated goal is to advance through dialogue with S and reveal the person the player truly is. The story is set in a world where time and reality blur. The source describes an intriguing multi-end storyline, so the route through the narrative can lead to different conclusions rather than a single ending.

Collecting EGO

EGO is the central collectible in the game. According to the supplied material, players collect it by tapping comments in the quest room, which appear one after another. The description presents this collection step as the starting point for the rest of the systems.

Using EGO

Collected EGO can be consumed to add and expand the EGO auto-acquisition menu. It can also be used to purchase books that automatically earn EGO. In addition, players can undergo psychoanalysis in the Esus room using their EGO. The supplied text does not describe the exact costs, amounts, or rates involved in these options.

Diagnostic games and the Esus room

Diagnostic games are a major part of the experience. Some diagnoses are based on fairy tales, which the description presents as a whimsical element. The Esus room is where the diagnostic process advances and where psychoanalysis takes place. The listing describes the diagnostic results as credible, but that is promotional wording and not independently verified.

Presentation

The listing describes rich visuals, with detailed graphics intended to support the storytelling. The visual style is described only in the supplied listing text, so it should be judged on the store page or in the game itself.
