Alter Ego is a story-driven point-and-click adventure that tries to capture the spirit of classic detective fiction while wrapping it in a dark, gothic atmosphere. Developed by bitComposer Games and published by Viva Media, it positions itself as a slow, methodical mystery set in a grim version of Victorian-era England. From the outset, the game signals its priorities clearly: this is less about mechanical complexity and more about narrative, mood, and the gradual unraveling of a disturbing case. The story centers on a string of murders that follow the death of a wealthy nobleman rumored to have lived a deeply sinister life. When his coffin is discovered to be empty, speculation spreads quickly, blurring the line between rational explanation and supernatural fear. What makes the narrative structure stand out is its use of two protagonists with very different perspectives. On one side is Detective Briscol, a disciplined investigator grounded in logic and procedure; on the other is Timothy Moor, a streetwise thief whose motivations are far less noble. The game alternates between these two viewpoints, allowing players to experience the same mystery from contrasting angles. In theory,…
A point and click game in a 3d world. Its interesting but finnicky as its not very clear what you can click on. The only indication is that your cursor changes color to red. Its a good game otherwise. It has cinematics and voice acting.
So I finished this game mostly out of OCD and spite. I had picked it up before and put it down, then had my friend play it and they stopped as well. The puzzles aren't too bad, but man the protagonists are unlikeable people. Not to mention the game is structured in a very odd way, presenting you with some information long before you would even understand or care about it. And the ending is just a smack in the face, making it just feel bitter.
