ALTER EGO is a gorgeous clicker that makes the most of the basic mechanics of the genre offering players an unforgettable narrative experience that's totally different from anything seen before.
Your role in ALTER EGO is to unravel the secrets surrounding 'S', a mysterious young woman who is your guide throughout this adventure. Collect butterflies by clicking on the dialog boxes that appear on screen. As in other clickers, you use your butterflies to unlock improvements and generate more and more items, or to unlock new dialogs to interact with other characters in this game.
The tone of the game is dark and melancholic and its ambience will quickly remind you of other titles in the 'Corpse Party' saga. Although this time around, the action is focused much more on mystery than terror.
The soundtrack in ALTER EGO deserves a special mention as it accompanies you throughout all the action and it's so good you can actually download it for free from the author's website.
The text in ALTER EGO is written entirely in Japanese, so it's essential to have some basic knowledge of this language to enjoy its deep and engaging story.
