![]() I can easily spend four to five hours in this game without ever getting bored, this is just perfect for when I got way too much time left. ![]() The game was interesting enough to keep me hooked for hours after hours, most games only keep me busy for less than an hour or less since I got a job. Oh, I forget to say: Dating and marrying is pretty hard to pull-off in this game, the game is full of such details. There are also some special aspects you can always choose, such as work, children and dating, these are all pretty nice, but do often lead to weird situations. The idea is that you pick a random aspect (family, health, love etc.) and answer a question regarding that subject, depending on your choice you are awarded with a result and some points for your stats. The story is pretty well-written and allows you to make some very interesting choices regarding life. I had always wanted such a game and found the "The Sims" franchise to be seriously lacking, this because "The Sims" was always very repetitive and lacked the depth of true life, instead it was mostly about daily routines. A little text-based game that gives you a character that you must lead through the many stages of life sounded pretty nice to me. The premise is pretty amazing and I was seriously willing to sit through this game entirely. It doesn't have a lot of replayability, but it is fun for a little while. It lets you do things you never did, and without consequences. This is a very interesting approach to a game. I don't mind having to use two hands, but having to use the arrow keys, you'd think the Enter key might have been a consideration. My only real problem with this game is that you can only use the space bar to enter you choices. And it only gets more complicated from there, like in real life. Like when you get to your teens, along with the usual life experiences, you can try relationships, High School experiences, risks, and even get yourself a job. I played all the way through, and trust me, it takes at least 45 minutes to an hour.Īs you get older, you have more choices to try. The younger you start (from birth even!), the longer the game. This lets you decide how long your game is. Once that is done, you can choose a life-stage to begin in. Alter Ego indeed! You can actually create a new you fairly accurately just by answering a bunch of questions. Instead of letting you live a new life as a super-hero, or a dungeon-crawling dwarf, it lets you replay your life as a normal person. This is a very novel approach for a game.
