The Alters, a sci-fi survival game by 11-Bit Studios, the creators behind the award-winning This War of Mine and Frostpunk has released a new gameplay trailer.
After crash landing on a desolate planet with a scorching star, Jan must avoid the murderous conditions by taking refuge in a cutting-edge mobile base. The only issue? It’s meant to be operated by a skilled team and he’s just Jan.
Thankfully, fate takes a turn with the discovery of Rapidium, a mysterious substance exclusive to this perilous world. Interacting with the Quantum Computer on board the mobile base allows Jan to manipulate pivotal decisions from his past—creating alternate versions of himself known as Alters—that have the potential to change everything. The
Alters are indispensable allies and they possess diverse skill sets crucial for repairing the base, sustaining life, crafting essential tools, and mining precious resources. However, they’re also more than mere taskbots, with each operating as a sentient being, complete with unique emotions, goals, and even a dash of existential doubt thrown in.
While this does potentially open the door for chaos, their collective goal remains the same: survive, escape, and do it all by themselves.
The Alters is set to launch later this year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
