Steam App ID: 664780

What if you could live your life over again?  In this text\-based interactive fiction, you choose what happens next\. It's in the style of pick\-a\-path gamebooks, but with over a thousand multiple\-choice questions, it's much longer and deeper than traditional gamebooks\.  Alter Ego  starts at birth and ends at death, including two substantially different versions, depending on whether you choose to be male or female\.   Will you grow up to be confident and happy? Will you fight with bullies, or befriend them? Will you find a date to the senior prom? Will you marry and have kids, or start your own business and become a millionaire? The choice is yours\.  This game will change your life\.  \( Alter Ego  was originally published in 1986 for the Commodore 64, MS\-DOS, Apple II, and Macintosh\. The current edition of the  Alter Ego  game is a production of Choose Multiple LLC\. This edition includes an updated interface and fixes bugs in the original version of the game, but the content of the game hasn't changed from the original 1986 version of the game\.\)
