The article reflects on the author's struggles with parenting, noting feelings of inadequacy and nostalgia for a time when their children were younger. As the children became teenagers, the author felt disconnected and often blamed for their issues. To cope, the author used a quiet weekend to engage with the thought-provoking game "The Alters," which allows players to explore various life paths through cloning different versions of themselves based on decisions made. This game serves as a metaphor for reflecting on the decisions that shape one's identity and experiences in life.
The game challenges players to reflect on their choices and how different paths shape their identity, making each clone a piece of their past decisions.
Parenting feels like navigating through life's unpredictable moments, much like the game where every decision can lead to drastically different paths.
