    The story of Alter Evo is intricate, complex, and heavily story-driven, offering a novel-like experience filled with dark themes, humor, and diverse characters. While captivating and intriguing in the beginning, the plot becomes increasingly confusing and at times convoluted, dividing opinions on its clarity and coherence. Overall, it's a unique narrative adventure that appeals to players who enjoy cryptic and unconventional storytelling.

    • “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 sublime spiritual realm.”
    • “Its story flows smoothly but is actually very complex and cryptic.”
    • “It's really fun, and the intricate plot makes me feel like I'm playing through a novel.”
    • “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?”
