Alter Ego

Alter Ego is a unique and thought-provoking life simulation game released by Activision in 1986. Players begin as a nascent consciousness and guide their "alter ego" through all stages of life, from infancy to old age, making crucial choices that shape their character's personality, relationships, career, and overall well-being. Each decision, presented as a series of scenarios and dilemmas, impacts seven core aspects: physical, emotional, intellectual, familial, social, vocational, and mythical. The game explores psychological and sociological themes, offering countless branching paths and outcomes, making every playthrough a distinct journey of self-discovery and consequence.
