When you launch ALTER EGO, you are greeted by a monochrome world. You are greeted by a "wall" with half sculpted male and half female faces.



The story begins when you are told to "collect EGO".

I was puzzled as to what an "EGO" is (......), but it appears that you can collect them by tapping the speech balloons that approach you in the upper half of the screen.



Books in the lower half of the screen can be read once you have accumulated a certain amount of "EGO".

The first one I got was that "Ningen Shikkaku" (Human Disqualification).



I press "Start Reading.

Then, the words written in the speech balloons became more varied.

I have lived my whole life in shame." ...... That's a famous line from "Human Disqualification".



The next one I was able to get was "Demian" by Hermann Hesse.

There are so many classics that have greatly influenced the fields of literature, philosophy, and psychology.

As the story progresses, "Es" gives you psychological tests.



The first psychological test given by "S" is a simple test in which you answer 12 questions from a list of choices.

There are no correct answers, so you answer honestly to your heart's content.

When you finish answering the psychological test, "S" will analyze the results.



The results of the psychological test can be found at ....... It is as if you are being looked into your inner self, and it will pierce your heart.

There are several endings to the story.
