in your opinion, what’re the best books the game mentions?

But i do headcanon that she doesn't really like other people as she's probably an introvert. Execept wanderer, which she is fond of and loves them. Idk. Sorry if it's bad. No hate plz.

Refrences: Dante and Vergilus from Limbus company Wise and Belle from Zenless Zone Zero Tv man titan and Speakerman titan from Skibidi Toilet Mizi and Sua from Alien stage Dante from Hell Maiden Es, Ego Rex and Wanderer from Alter Ego

Man, I could not place the text in a way that fit and also was short, so please bear with my inexperience. The text comes from Cindanwe's notebook, oblivion.

I already got both endings already but I’m still confused on how I can achieve the true ending of AE?

Or she'll be falling apart right in front of you, can't you see?

I'm not sure how I got both learned rebellion and selfish conformity, as those seem to be entirely opposite of each other

SoyRex is malding at Es as usual and alt of Es wringing (us)

It's like one of my Japanese animes.

So a friend of mine was trying to get the Superego ending, but he took Ego Rex a little too seriously and was trying to complete all the books instead-

She’s gone crazy…

I recently completed the game, and I have searched for quite a while and came across three Liberator, Controller, Es Worshipper. Idk, if Es Worshipper is true tho (I mean... Guilty as charged, I also touched her a lot) yet I DIDN'T GET IT!!!

Umm... So yeah... Can you guys share like a link where the description of all the chosen paths and how to reach them is?

Also which chosen path did you get? Does it align with you? For me, the Liberator aligned quite well. Though, it may be possible just because the sample size is too large, and people can generally find similarities, even under a descriptive personality.

I know people hate A.I and with good reason but when your lonely you're lonely.

A short story compilation and final entry (so far) to the doujin manga series "It Couldn't Be Worse Than This" on May 12th, 2019.

"It Couldn't Be Worse Than This" is a doujin manga series whose existence is pivotal to the eventual development and creation of ALTER EGO, to the point where the main character, Gigiko, is the essential blueprint to what would become Es as a character later on. These details will be discussed in a future post documenting some of ALTER EGO's development. For now, this post will focus on this collaboration manga.

For all intents and purposes, this manga is not technically official. It is not acknowledged by or endorsed by Caramel Column, and while it originates from the man that created the art for ALTER EGO, it, like other manga featuring Es he created, are derivative works from the official IP. That being said, the contents of this manga were something I deemed to be worth sharing, especially given the obscure nature of its release and lack of publicity both in Japan and in the world at large.

For reference purposes, "It Couldn't BE Worse Than This" is a soft yuri manga depicting the relationship between Momoko Kawagishi (Gigiko) and her partner Mariya Nanami. The episodic stories depict the two as they sort through Gigiko's philosophy towards her works, society, sexuality, and creative blocks, with the more composed Nanami acting as someone for Gigiko to bounce off of. This one shot, as befitting its inclusion in the short story compilation, is a one-off collaboration work with no greater ties to the story at large.

That being said, it is interesting to see Es show up in all sorts of places and one of Es' creators' interpretations of the world of ALTER EGO and having his characters interact with our beloved librarian.

Hope you enjoy the translation, and please support the official releases when they ever become available again.

Until next time.

"Today's conversation ends here, though, okay?"

So i have so many questions after playing complex and main game.

Like how can Es dream? Or is the library (in alter ego) where the player meets Es a dream or what ?.

I think Es represents the player's inner instincts and desires. So whenever they meet it's actually just the players looking into themselves and the whole plot happens in the players head.

But my dumbass childish brain wants to think Es is just a lonely girl who is bound to the library that holds the knowledge of the universe to serve as the librarian.

And us the player is the traveler who happens to meet her in one of our adventures.

She just wants to tell you how she's feeling.

From what time period/year do you think Es would have been born in?

So, I have looked around and found some sites like the Caramel Column official site, Amazon, and Booth. Based on what I see though, a lot of stuff that are interesting for me to get are either no longer available, or cannot be shipped to where I live. Although, I am going to Japan on December and I'd rather buy it there.

If anyone knows any locations I should check out to find Alter Ego merch in Japan, I'd really appreciate it. And if anyone can guide me how to buy stuff online on other sites I did not mention, that'd be great too.
