The dark storyline of Alter Ego begins as a strange aristocrat dies and his body goes missing. A series of gruesome murders shake a small town. Rumours of a supernatural monster abound, and this latest atrocity has the entire town shaking in fear. The local police are beside themselves and have made no headway in solving these crimes. Detective Briscol, a man of logic and principle, and Timothy Moor, a petty thief, become unlikely partners in solving the grisly murders.
Alternating between the complete opposite roles of Detective Briscol and Timothy Moor, players will investigate the strange events and gradually reveal a dark secret. After all, when evil has more than one face, you need more than one perspective…

"I always like the whole vibe of this game ever since I first saw it, but after actually playing it, Alter Ego really surpassed my expectations. The moody, dark atmosphere combined with the time this game takes place, really makes for an autentic experience that I really enjoyed. The story is interesting, the graphics are good the gameplay has alot of variation too. The only thing is that the puzzles can get annoying and repetetive, controls are a little choppy sometimes and I had troubles running it at first. Other than that, the game is really worth the money!"
