bitComposer Games has announced that it will release the creepy adventure game Alter Ego in Q1 2010. Alter Ego is the latest offering from the Czech studios Future Games, who were responsible for the successful adventure titles Black Mirror and Nibiru. Alter Ego will be released on Windows PC and Nintendo Wii.

Alter Ego takes virtual gamers to the town of Plymouth in the South of England as the 19th century draws to a close. A series of gruesome murders shakes both the town and the entire region after a strange aristocrat dies who was the subject of many horrifying myths in his lifetime. Players can discover and investigate the various scenes as they alternate between two totally different heroes, the thief Timothy Moor and Police Detective Bristol, to slowly reveal a dark secret.

Alter Ego is a Point 'n' Click adventure set in a picturesque English town at the turn of the century. This sinister detective story takes place in over 80 backdrops and is driven forward by atmospheric cut scenes. The player assumes the roles of the two main protagonists, and will meet more than 30 NPCs as the plot unfolds. Players will also have 150 objects available to combine in order to solve the tricky puzzles.
