Alter Ego

Alter Ego is a life simulation game where players create a character and guide them through seven life phases from infancy to old age by making decisions in various situations. Players choose from multiple response options that influence personality, health, and future scenarios, with each choice carrying long-term consequences that can lead to different outcomes including early death or game over. The gameplay unfolds through a life tree structure with situation cards representing thematic encounters, and players can manage relationships, careers, and lifestyle choices as their character ages, with separate male and female versions available.

Estimates, not counts — nobody publishes real player numbers for mobile games, so these are modelled from public signals. How we work them out

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Alter Ego, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store, Steam. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

First reading taken Aug 9, 2026 — the chart appears once there are two.

Only the games with a PC port appear here, but where Steam does report it is a real concurrent-player count rather than a proxy for one.

Not tracked for Alter Ego: Discord, Reddit, YouTube, Twitch. A platform appears here once the game has a link to it — most mobile games have no Steam port or subreddit, so a gap is normal rather than a sign the game is small.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Alter Ego?

We estimate that about 11,000 people have played Alter Ego — plausibly between 5.5K and 22K. Around 550 of them play on a given day, in a range of 55 and 3.3K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play, App Store and Steam rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Alter Ego still active?

Yes. Alter Ego is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the Alter Ego player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.

Alter Ego was released on September 21, 2009 for Android and iOS.

What platforms is Alter Ego available on?
