Alter Ego vs My Story: Choose Your Own Path
Alter Ego
Alter Ego is a text-based interactive story that's based on the "choose your own adventure" formula used by gamebooks back in the 90s. However, being a digital version has its advantages, the game can be packed with more choices and multiple-choice questions, allowing it to be a lot more in-depth than any of the traditional gamebooks.The storyline in this game is pretty unique too. Alter Ego details the story of a human - you can choose the gender - from birth to death. You'll be going through his or her lifespan, making decisions and in general, living the life of a virtual person.
The game claims to be able to change your life and in some way, it can. If you enjoy story-based games, Alter Ego might just be the game you seek. It's so realistic in its way and that's where its charm lies.
My Story: Choose Your Own Path
My Story: Choose Your Own Path is an interactive story game where you can choose your own narrative by picking the dialogue option that you like the most during, usually, a pretty critical moment in the game. Your choices will affect the course of the storyline, determining your relationship with the friends in the plot, your popularity as well as who you'll be able to date. Similar to games like Choices or Episodes, you get to personalize your character and choose a fitting hairstyle and clothes.The only downside though is that updates are a bit slow in this game. A new chapter for a story you like may take months to arrive. Not to mention, some players have suggested that the game might want to add more options for players to earn free diamonds and tickets, and this, in turn, may point out that the game may be a bit pay-to-play... as in, you'll need to spend real money to buy premium currency if you plan on uncovering the the actual deeper version of the story rather than the skim-the-surface one.
All in all, My Story: Choose Your Own Path is incredibly similar to Choices and Episodes in so many ways. Fans of the latter games might enjoy playing this one as well.
