Alter Ego vs Gone Home
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.
Gone Home
Gone Home is a story-rich, point-and-click adventure game where you find your childhood home devoid of life after returning from a year abroad. The mystery of it all sets you off on an investigate mode as you examine clues and uncover what had happened to your family using what they have left behind. The storyline you'll gradually reveal is both heartwarming and incredibly relatable as it touches on a family's struggle with uncertainty, heartache and change.Being a point-and-click adventure, this game doesn't have any puzzles to challenge you or intruders who will attack you on sight. There isn't anything supernatural about the whole event so there's no need to fear looking behind your back or into a mirror. All you need to do is to find and collect clues, and eventually piece together the story of what had happened to your family while you were away.
This is definitely the sort of game that a fan of story-rich games would love. The entire game's premise is centered around its storyline and hence, it's as good as it gets.
