Alter Ego (2012) download

This point-and-click adventure game released by Viva Media in 2010 is not much of a mystery game and the puzzles are simplistic, the player not having to make much of a decision when solving these. The action happens in Plymouth, England and it is split between two characters, Timothy Moor (an Irish thief) and Detective Briscol (who investigates Timothy), which they intersect only later in the game, that makes the gameplay even more dull. As Timothy you stick to the plot not being aware of any kind of mystery whilst as Briscol you investigate the crime scenes and ask questions around. Atfer crossing the paths of the two characters the puzzles become even more simpler and all the adventure leads to a dreadful ending. The graphics are neat, well of course being a 2010 game, but the story is a major drawback for that kind of graphics. I guess you can't have them all, the story and the graphics in one compact game, if we were to take Super Mario Bros, it lacks graphics but still rocks because of it's awesome gameplay. I personally don't recommend wasting time with this, it can waste your time and you could not have fun playing it, but you could try it, who knows, you might like it.
