So, I was sitting in English class when my friend introduced this game to me online. It's called Alter Ego, and it's basically a progression through life, where you're presented with different situations, and you decide how to react. The game keeps track of various stats and stuff like that, and yea...

Played it for a couple hours, was pretty addictive. Made it through one lifecycle, ended up being pretty poor since I didn't get a good education... x.x

Anyways, was wondering if anybody else has heard about this / played it?
The game's at

This is really neat - It tells me what I'm going to do when I'm already doing it

He opens the door on your side. You turn to run away.
He catches you and drags you into the car. You are kidnapped, tortured and eventually killed. This game is over.

fuck this game -_-

Nope; I had put down to look and turn away and ignore him. Then it told me he kept calling me over and then I had put to run away, and then I got that lol.

I put stay where I am both times. I assumed that the car was a fair distance away. PLEASE I'm a kid, I should be able to run far enough before he can open the door, get out and start chasing after me.

... This makes me sad and I don't want to play anymore =(

What the fuck? I spent 10 minutes going through infancy and then got killed halfway through my childhood just because + Show Spoiler +

I went over to talk to a man in a car

Crap game IMO, lol. I didn't even get to the part where I got to score tons of girls.

first I told him I couldn't do it or whatever, and ran away, I guess because my physical traits were good I ran away before he could catch me
I also remembered his license plate number and got him in jail =]

if you have bad physical traits/your very impulsive you tend to die at that part.

I was impulsive and go over to him but then I outran him and put him in jail. just got to adulthood =0 theres a fucking shitload of choices now...like 8 icons at the top Relationships, purchase, bank, work, etc
