  • Creative and authentic development showing personal vision and artistry, with enjoyable gameplay elements such as driving, shooting, puzzles, and memorable voice acting.
  • Gameplay mechanics are janky with clunky controls, simplistic shooting, and occasional technical issues such as bugs and optimization problems.
  • Story can be confusing, convoluted, and difficult to fully understand, with some characters feeling underdeveloped and ending being perceived as lazy or unsatisfying.

  • story

    The story is a complex, cryptic, and often bizarre narrative that blends dark themes, humor, and diverse characters, resulting in an intriguing but sometimes confusing experience. It offers a mix of unusual quests and rich, novel-like storytelling that appeals to fans of story-driven games, though some may find it uneven or difficult to fully grasp. Overall, it stands out for its unique, quirky approach and immersive, enigmatic plot.

    • “Without giving away too much, there are quests involving talking animals, going on a date at an underground club, but also breaking into prisons, sewers, and uncovering crazy secrets of the nightmarish aspects of the world you inhabit (the 'memos' you find along the way are some of my favorite bits).”
    • “The gameplay itself is a story-driven 3rd person game, with elements of gun combat, driving, a variety of puzzles, and a mix of story-driven quests (going to help grandma find her paint, or breaking into a power plant).”
    • “The excellent story, visuals, dark themes, humour, and diverse characters keep me engaged through the main character's struggles and loneliness, steadily transcending closer to a kind of sublime spiritual realm.”
    • “Between the protagonist's ridiculous Solid Snake voice, the cheesy jump scares, the awkward animations, and the absolutely inscrutable plot and world-building that feel like Tommy Wiseau paying homage to Philip K.”
    • “Alter Evo shines in the first two hours, which are full of truly intriguing oddities about the other characters and Evo; after that, a few more are introduced, and honestly, you couldn’t care less about because they pop up out of nowhere (and aren’t as bizarre as the ones at the beginning), and the story itself gets way too confusing—which isn’t a problem since it’s been like that from the start, but it gets boring.”
    • “Does the story make any sense?”

  • gameplay

    • “In terms of gameplay, shooting was solid, driving was incredible, and the conversations with other characters were perfect.”
    • “But they broke up gameplay well and added to the general surrealism.”
    • “Mechanics are pretty janky, optimization is a mess, and by the end credits I was just staring at the screen with my brain fried.”
