Alter Ego is a life simulator that allows you to try everything (or almost everything) that is difficult to decide in reality and see how individual decisions affect your future life. Maybe Alter Ego belongs to the last category for one simple reason: you will live your whole life during the game. It might not be relevant to the game at all, but I think it’s cool.There are games that make you feel like a hero, then there are games that force you to break the monitor, but there are also games that stay in your memory for a very long time and immerse you in philosophical considerations. So even if the pitch is a little out there, you know it’s gonna do something interesting.Īnother fun fact: The big rotating wheel that contains the ship is an actual concept for generating artificial gravity called a von Braun wheel. The Alters’ development team is mostly staffed by the team who made This War of Mine. But what about a version of yourself who went to trade school instead of becoming a writer?

Alternative versions of the same person,” said 11 Bit Studios’ Tomasz Kisilewicz, in a statement to GamesBeat. So Jan Dolski does what any of us would do: He brings alternate versions of himself into existence to lend a hand in fixing things.
