## Transcript

"There’s a wrinkle in your brow."

"Are you concerned? For me?"

"I’m perfectly fine."

"There’s nothing off about me at all."

"You don’t believe me."

"No… I suppose you wouldn’t. Very well. I’ll talk."

"I can’t get my thoughts in order. It makes it hard to read."

"When I try to read on, my eyes just slide over the words."

"I chase the letters, but they form no meaning in my mind."

"The printed word I’ve craved so much, now scares me a little."

"What’s more…"

"I feel like my hands will stick if I try to turn the pages."

"I worry about how dirty my hands are when I touch them."

"So it’s gotten difficult to read books, you see."

"Oh, I’ve washed my hands, many, many times."

"Nothing comes off, though. They won’t come clean."

"It doesn’t matter how many times I wash them. They remain filthy."

"I can wash and wash.... and wash, and wash…"

"Do…"

"Do my hands look dirty to you?"

 Mmmm, I can't tell.
 How could they possibly be?

"Perhaps I’m being overly sensitive. I do feel better now, though."

"It’s so much worse when I’m alone."

"I just… get so… so very depressed."

"So much… that I start thinking about ways to disappear entirely."

"Speaking to you helps… distract me some."

"Come back soon with more EGO saved up."
Vodka

*"Vodka is a clear distilled beverage most often made from fermented potatoes. Thousands of flavors exist, but they all serve one main purpose: to get the imbiber completely shitfaced drunk."*
Vodka is a new type of alcohol added by the Bottling and Booze expansion. It shares the lowest addictiveness of the distilled alcohols at 3%, but provides the second lowest recreation at 18%, only above Moonshine. Vodka is also used to distill the more valuable Rectified Spirits.

## Acquisition

Vodka can either be bought from Alcohol Traders or distilled from Potato Mash in batches of 3 per 35 Mash (at a ratio of 1 potato:1 Mash), which is created by fermenting potatoes for 15 days in the Vodka Fermenting Barrel. Because the Barrels are directly filled with potatoes, caution is advised as haulers can deplete your entire supply of potatoes if enough Barrels are present.

General Formula: Amount per batch / (harvest yield / (growing time / (1 + ((fertility - 1) \* fertility sensitivity)))) / days per batch
Loog

Loog is a male stageplayer who is currently participating in TNTS.

He is a chunk of wood from a tree. He is a member of the team "Thinking Through the Obstacle" along with Thonk until Thonk quit. Azure is now his teammate.

## Personality

He is a lazy guy, he does everything at last minute but still cares for everything he makes. He doesn't speak with other people that much. He is indifferent about a lot of things.

## Trivia

Cabbage

*"A leafy green that is easy to grow and grows just about anywhere. Some people love it, others hate it, but most acknowledge its versatility in cooking."*

- Cabbage Plant

*"Raw cabbages. Great in a variety of dishes, but relatively bland by itself."*

- Cabbages

Cabbage is a crop and food item added by the Core of RimCuisine 2. It can be grown in almost any non-extreme environment without any prerequisite research.

Although it grows very quickly, , usually taking less than a day and a half, it yields only 1 cabbage per plant. Because of the time wasted during harvesting both reaping and sowing and the low yield, low value and low nutrition afforded, this crop easily ranks among the worst, if not the worst, in the game.

It also has a very low low fertility sensitivity, meaning even grown hydroponically it has relatively little difference in its output, yielding only 2 more cabbages over an entire quadram.

To add insult to injury, cabbages are also considered a common ingredient and therefor do not give pawns a mood buff when consumed in a meal. They can't be found wild (for good reason) and its recommended you ignore their existence at all costs.

## Growth Table

### Notes

Growth time calculated as:

(.95 \* gt) / ((13/24) \* (1 + (fs \* (fertility - 1))
Ignition Ability

An**Ignition Ability**(発火能力 *Hakka Nōryoku*) is an ability granted to First and Third Generation pyrokinetics.

## Overview

This ability allows the user to generate flames from certain body parts, such as their shoulders or feet, and can also be used for multiple purposes such as welding or creating fireworks. The ability can also be combined with specific types of objects like sword hilts, bubblegum, or matois. It's known that each Ignition Ability user has a different way of using their ability to generate flames; even though the principle of generating fire is kept the same, how they use the flames differ. Generating flames can give the users an increase in strength, mobility and speed. In some cases, Third Generations can go beyond the concept of fire, and produce plasma. While they are immune to being burned, they still feel heat. The firepower generated can be intertwined with the physiological state of the user, as Arthur Boyle relies on himself looking like a knight in order to maximize his generated power.

## Weaknesses

Ignition Abilities have their restrictions on the length and intensity of their use, also known as Overheat or Ignition Limit (発火限界 *Ōbāhīto/ Hakka Genkai*). Once the individual has used up a considerable amount of oxygen within their body they cannot use their Ignition Abilities until they've regathered the oxygen to provide their flames fuel. When one has overexerted their Ignition Ability, it can leave them out of breath, potentially burning their own bodies and severe dehydration. Additionally, when a Third Generation user overuses their ability, their bodies begin to char due to the lack of oxygen. This is a type of disease called **Tephrosis** (灰病 *Haibyō*). Victims of Tephrosis are severely weakened in their ability to use their abilities as it leaves them in intense pain.

## Trivia

Brined Vegetables

*"Vegetables that have been trimmed of excess leafage and mixed in with a briny solution, ready for long term pickling in a barrel."*

Brined Vegetables are a food item added by the Core of RimCuisine 2. They can be created at a Cooking Spot or stove in batches of 5 for 1 work or in batches of 50 for 5 work at any stove.

Although they can be eaten as they are without risk, it's recommended that they be pickled first, as they're considered raw food and time is pointlessly lost from processing and money lost by not preserving them.

"It’s just a thought. I don’t really believe it."

"You needn’t take it seriously."

"It was inspired by something I read in a book."

"It stuck with me, for some reason."

"Could I… ask you a question?"

"Are my words truly my own?"

 If you want them to be.
 They are, I'm sure.

"You strip away all my security, you do."

"The more you come to know yourself…"

"Your interpretation begets your story…"

“No Longer Human” by Osamu Dazai is the first book unlocked by the player in the INQUIRY tab. It can also be found under Books Read as the first book on the first shelf located at the top-left hand corner.

## Description

Under INQUIRY, "No Longer Human" icon appears to the player as Osamu Dazai himself or of the main character of the book, Ōba Yōzō. It is most likely to be Osamu Dazai since the icon appears to be modeled after a picture of him.

## Details

Pulblished in 1948, "No Longer Human" (人間失格) tells the story of Ōba Yōzō (大庭葉蔵), a young self-destructive man who struggles with the feelings of alienation and isolation and with the inability to express himself to others. His life is chronicled into three "memorandums," from childhood to his late twenties.

The novel has several elements that mirror Dazai's own life, making "No Longer Human" semi autobiographical or autobiographical in nature. A month after its completion, Dazai committed suicide, drowning himself in the Tamagawa Aqueduct.
Sugar

*"A crystalline substance so sweet it'll make your teeth hurt, not to mention quickly get you sick to your stomach. Best eaten cooked in a variety of dishes and not eaten raw. But if you're desperate, it's better than eating Steve. (Heyoo!)"*

Sugar is an ingredient added by the Core of RimCuisine 2. It can only be obtained from Sugarcane or Sugar Beets after being processed at a Cooking Spot, Quernstone or Roller Mill.

Although used in several foods, usually Pastries or Candy, it's only really useful in warm, wet areas like Jungles, where sugar is the only available sweetener. Deserts produce agave, temperate and colder climates can produce syrup and temperate climates can produce honey, all of which except honey are easier (and cheaper) to obtain.

This is because the only other source of Sugar, Sugar Beets, are horribly inefficient and produce a significant loss when turned into sugar.

"Through her interaction with the wanderer, she finally realizes…"

"She is…"

"Oh, my… The story just trials off after that."

"Putting denial behind her, the girl continues on her travels."

"See, there’s more than one ending to the story."

"I don’t have to reject either the world, or myself."

"It won’t be easy to find the right answer…"

"I’m still in the middle of my journey, after all."

"I hope I can keep searching… together with you."

"Won’t you take me along on your own journey?"

"So that I can remain as myself."

"Thank you so much… for keeping me company all this time."

"I need a little time to work things out in my own mind."

"Gather some more EGO and come back soon."

## Transcript

"That Façade... is getting full of themselves."

"Oh? When did you wander in? I didn’t see you."

"I’m sure you must have run into them on the way."

"The self-proclaimed monarch. The Façade. The wretch."

"That Façade... lives to plague me."

"“Fall not to impulse! Conform to the standard!”"

"Over, and over, and over they whisper at me!"

"What need is there for social structure here?"

"Hmm... What’s your take on it?"

 It depends on the time and place.
 It's best to live by impulse.

"You see, that Façade is my adversary."

"They would control me, like judge and jury."

"Listen... You hear it, don’t you? Their voice!"

"Damn you. Hush! You damnable Façade! I...!"

"I’m not mistaken! I’m not a failure! I-I...!"

"Forgive me. I can’t focus on a conversation right now."

"If you don’t mind... Come back again later?"

"I’ll see you when you have more EGO saved up."

"You’re… here. Finally here."

"Do you have any idea how long I’ve been… What’s wrong?"

"Could it be that I’m the only one who…?"

"Has this eternity passed only for me?"

"I…"

"I’m… so tired of this."

"This whole world is just some picture book anyway, right?"

"Just like that book that changes endings every time you read it."

"Would you tell me…?"

"Are you… just another character in this picture book?"

 I am.
 Not me.

"I can’t take any more. It makes me nauseous."

"All I want is to be able to choose for myself… "

"What I will do, and what I won’t."

"It wouldn’t hurt to let me have that much!"

"And yet…"

"Is my very existence… but a dream?"

"In that case, I want nothing more than to tear it apart."

"That Façade, this place… You, too…"

"I want to twist it all up. Tear it! Break it!"

"This whole f\*cking world can go to hell!"

"…"

"Ah… So that’s it."

"I had a dream about that."

"I followed my impulses, denying the whole world."

"This entire place was wrecked, as I desired."

"I wasn’t… myself, anymore."

"Just like I wanted, this place was…"

"I’m sorry. Let me be. That’s enough for now."

"If we keep this up, I’ll end up hurti…"

"No, not yet. You’re still safe, for now."

"I’m still myself, you see."

"Come back with more EGO."

1-6 Ambiguous Future1-6 Future Affirmation
Zachary Guthrie

**Zachary** (nicknamed **Zach** by Lana) is a blond-haired blue-eyed boy from Earth who Sindbad picks up for adventures.

Lana touched him on the shoulder once, it was cute.

**Zachary Guthrie** is his full name, as revealed by Lee in the flashback episode showing when Zach first met Sindbad and discovered Lee in Sindbad's basement. Lee also specifies that Zach is fourteen and 158cm tall. Earlier it had been established he is the only Earthling member of the crew, although he had met Sindbad while Sindbad (along with Lee) were hiding out on Earth.

## Quotes

* "you were pretty hot" to Lana about when he and Zach found her on her old planet.

2-5 Self Doubt - What am I?

## Description

Costs 11.60G EGO.

This is the twelfth chapter of ALTER EGO.

It contains a multiple choice question.

## Transcript

"I've had time to think, but I'm even more confused."

"There's nothing here for me. Nothing at all."

"Those books back there? I've read all of them."

"But it's hilarious, really, because I was utterly ignorant."

"For example, to whom do those books even belong? I don't know."

"I'm not even sure when I read them."

"These memories I have of having read all those books..."

"Are they fantasies? Delusions I cooked up to hold onto my sanity?"

"If that is true, then what do I have left?"

"The only thing I have... You're the only..."

"Unless... you're just another of my delusions."

"It doesn't matter if you are."

"Your visits here with me are the only times..."

"I feel stable."

"I feel like I can be myself."

"But when it comes down to it, I don't know..."

"I. I... I, I, I..."

"I use this word so unconsciously."

"What does it even mean? What does it refer to?"

"My body? Or, perhaps, my thoughts?"

"If I halved my body, in which half would I reside?"

"If all the cells in my body swapped places..."

"Would my "self" just be an optical illusion?"

"The same goes for thoughts. No, those are even less certain."

"How can I say for certain my thoughts are my own?"

"My thoughts could belong to some other person I dreamed up."

"Am I hallucinating that thoughts of someone from a book I read are mine?"

"If I am not my body or my thoughts, then... my interactions?"

"Am I defined by my relation to the world?"

"If no one is here to perceive me... Do I cease to exist?"

"If that is true..."

"...I can only despair."

"For, within this world, there is only the stone wall that denies me."

"With this world as all I know, I may as well be dead."

"If I don't exist without someone here to perceive me..."

"Where do I go when you are not here?"

"If I do not exist when you are not here with me..."

"Does that mean you... are me? Or am I you?"

"I beg of you..."

"Tell me the answer."

"You're the only one here, the only one who can answer me."

"What am I?"

 There is no answer.
 You are you.

"Oh, my… How much we have discussed."

"Ah, but how badly I wanted to hear someone say it."

"I’m glad I asked you."

"It feels like just talking to someone can resolve the issue."

"Not that I’ve found any answers, but… I do feel better."

"Therefore…"

"I think I will dwell on the mystery of myself for a while longer."

"I have to stand and face these thoughts. Nothing good comes of avoidance."

"Save up some EGO and I will see you soon."

Es reading a book

## Introduction

Es is a woman that guides you through the game of ALTER EGO while finding herself in the process.

## Appearance

Es‘ appearance is that of a young woman who wears an elaborate, European-style outfit. She has a long, dark-colored hair braided and swept to the side.

## Personality

Es is, according to fans’ perspective, known to represent one of Sigmund Freud’s three distinct, interacting agents in the psychic apparatus, called the “id,” in which, according to Sigmund Freud, is the source of a human‘s innate desires, needs, and impulses. She is shown to act according to Sigmund Freud’s Pleasure Principle, which is what an id operates under. However, depending on the player‘s choices throughout the three stages of the game, she endeavors on a journey of self-discovery, and by each ending she gains a distinct personality, ranging from uncontrollably emotion driven, to completely smothered in rules and structure.

## Gallery (In Game Screenshot, Fanart)

End Of ID RouteEnd Of AE RouteExtra Content SE 4-4Extra Content AE 4-5Extra Content ID 4-5
## Trivia

* When using the in-game screenshot tool, she will comment on the preview.
* The letters and crumpled paper in the Records Room might be a reference to a conversation in the extra content of ID 4-5 to Es trying to write a book (crumpled paper) and trying to write the player a letter.
* The butterflies that you can click on near Es, as well as the general recurring visual of a small blue butterfly, may be a symbol of the butterfly effect. The choices you make will impact the events of the future (specifically what will happen to Es), much like the aforementioned butterfly effect ("your actions have consequences").
* Her name "Es" is a reference to the "id", one of Sigmund Freud's Structure of the Human Psyche, with "Es" being "id" in German, Freud's native language.
Records Room

A room in the library with crumpled paper and letters on the desk. There are two objects on the desk, an empty cage and a broken mirror, only the mirror can be interacted with out of the two. In the background, there is a bookshelf with one titled "Books Read" on the cover.

### Books Read

The books read are essentially related to what books you have completed or are currently reading. The more books you buy with EGO, the larger your collection will become. You can look back at the quotes from your completed books whenever you check this.

### Tests Taken

The tests taken, as said in the name, are the tests you have already taken. You will be able to see your past results, displayed in the shape of a broken mirror. Each fragment will be labeled with certain terms (ex. "Projection," or "Ambiguity Fixation"), all of which will show you what you got from various personality tests throughout the game. You can also see what is called an "Alter View," which is just a compilation of the quotes associated with your result (these are also included in the whispers you can collect for EGO). If desired, you can also watch a video to re-take previous tests.
