Every decision has long-time consequences and influences the personality, health and which situations await further down the road. Then the player gets presented with the outcome and goes on to the next situation.

This is done by choosing one of multiple answer possibilities, sometimes accompanied with a mood.

The gameplay consists of a series of situations where a decision has to be made. They then guide this character through seven life phases, from infancy to old age. The player creates a character with different personality statistics, either by assigning them randomly or by answering a few introductory questions. Alter Ego is a game which tries to simulate life itself.
