A sci-fi adventure developed by 11 Bit Studios, which developed This War of Mine, Frostpunk, and Children of Morta, called The Alter was released last year. One man must rely on himself and several copies of himself to survive and hopefully return home after a space mission fails.
Our first look at The Alters’ gameplay was revealed in a new trailer released by 11 Bit Studios today, which emphasizes that it’s a survival game in which you build a base. Jan crash-lands on an inhospitable planet turning toward a massive sun, which sets the stage for the story, which explores the diverse paths one can take.
Below is the gameplay trailer for The Alters:
“In this desperate race against time, Jan must harness local Rapidium crystals to create his many versions: the ‘Alters’,” a press release reads. “Set within an ever-moving mobile base, both teamwork and building a wide range of expertise are indispensable for survival. By selecting diverging paths for other Jans during the alteration process, they acquire distinct skill sets. They become invaluable, not only for maintaining the base, but also for tasks like cooking, crafting tools for surface exploration, and gathering essential resources.”
