The Quadruple Meaning behind the name 'Alter Evo'
[p]Some people have been asking why we chose the name Alter Evo?
First and foremost, it is an abbreviation of 'Altered Evolution' - this ties into several of the themes in the game.[/p][p][/p][p]1. Technology and how it alters the evolution of a species.[/p][p]We see a variety of characters whose lives are affected by technology, whether that is the Negative Agents, who are no longer considered humans, despite having human organs - or the citizens of North Terrace who are living in a society wherein they are unable to escape technology's dangerous effects. [/p][p]2. The concept of aliens as an alternate destination of human evolution (one that is not technologically based).[/p][p]In the game we learn of a species of aliens called the Egogana that have a level of omniscience and omnipresence that supersedes humans and their technology. The mystery of the story lies in where humans, technology, and aliens intersect.[/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][p]3. The play on words of the term Alter Ego. It refers more closely to the character of Brunilda - and the idea that her creations (video games) are simply alternate versions of her self. When a secret organization wants to destroy her game - it means that they will destroy her too.[/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][p]4. The main character's first name is Evo - he is at the center of a clash between aliens, technology, and a witness to the downfall of an artist (Brunilda). Like any protagonist - through the story's events, his character and life are altered by challenges, relationships, and tragedy.[/p][p]
