ALTER EGO COMPLEX v1.3.9

★★★★★

Whatever I might think up would probably undersell it. It is what it is; what you perceive and how you interpret it, or rather, how a certain someone does. The one, and only Es. It allows one to peer into her thoughts, and thus reconceptualise them in one's own viewpoint. It follows the same methodoly of 4 'pages' with text. For some this might be tiring but I like reading. I will do my best to always come back. Since Im still myself, I believe. What wonderful dreams... I'll never forget.

Short but good. More of a visual novel. The "gameplay" grew to be a chore. Most of the time, you read books by tapping approaching thought bubbles, but there's no clicker system like the first game. I ended up just wanting to get through with it to get to the parts I actually like. The picture books were nice. The dream art, and writing were captivating. I felt Es's loneliness and boredom. I liked Es already and I grew to love her more. If you liked Alter Ego, Alter Ego Complex is worth playing!

I loved Alter Ego years ago, and finally had gotten my hands on a Play Pass recently that made me have a chance to play this now. But, despite the beautiful visuals, words, scenarios etc..I couldn't quite grasp what's the purpose of all of it. I mean, it only felt like fanservice to the people that had a crush on her. Nevertheless, thank you to the developers at Caramel Column for making a great game !!

Disappointing Wanted to support the company because ego complex was phenomenal but this was a lazy game. A girl walking through a corridor and reading phrases from books, no Interaction or choices of dialogue. The books themselves are underwhelming with no philosophical dialogue or links between them.

Unlike the original, this game is very linear. I thought I was making choices, but it turns out all the dreams were set in stone from the start. There is not much value in replayability (easily finished in 2hrs) and the ending is rather bleak. It does not have the same introspective charm of the original, and one may argue that the ending is rather regressive in terms of character development. The start is abrupt, and Es was difficult to recognize given the art. It's rather disappointing.
