This bizarre survival game is packed with weighty building mechanics and social links, and every time I thought the 40-minute demo couldn\u2019t get any wilder, it defied my expectations by throwing yet another curveball. Whether it\u2019s the planet\u2019s rising sun that threatens to burn you into oblivion or the giant wheel-shaped base that serves as your home, the Rapidium miracle element that\u2019s Earth\u2019s only chance at survival or the alternate reality clones of the protagonist that serve as your companions, The Alters is perhaps the most high-concept science fiction game of all time \u2013 and maybe that\u2019s not such a bad thing. I quite enjoy weird science fiction stories myself, and there\u2019s something about The Alters\u2019 extreme weirdness that gives it a neat dreamlike quality that\u2019s unlike anything I\u2019ve seen before. That\u2019s definitely something to get excited about.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"mobile-ad-break\"><\/section>\n<p>In the Alters, you play one version of Jan Dolski, a space-faring captain on an expedition to a remote world that\u2019s gone horribly wrong, seeing you stranded on a planet with a slowly rising sun that will kill you if you let it. While waiting for help to arrive, you\u2019ll need to pilot your mobile command base across the surface of a hostile world, and that can\u2019t happen on your own. To assist you, you\u2019ll need to gather resources to build alternative versions of yourself called Alters, who are pulled from the multiverse where Jan made different life choices and became a different person. This way, you can find a version of yourself who became a miner to help with gathering raw materials and another version who became a scientist to assist with research and development of new technologies.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"the-alters-first-screenshots\" data-value=\"the-alters-first-screenshots\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Not only do you have to contend with keeping your base fed with supplies and solving obstacles to move the base along the planet\u2019s surface to stay out of range of the sun, but you also have to manage the various alternate versions of yourself, who each have their own baggage, needs, likes, and dislikes. In the demo, one version of Jan struggled with opioid addiction after being involved in a mining injury, and constantly caused issues with his unpredictable behavior, while another conflict arose between two other Alters who disagreed over how to best use resources. Keeping tabs on everyone\u2019s mental state and engaging in dialogue sections to resolve disputes and gain understanding of each of your clones\u2019 mental state already seems like it\u2019s a tough balancing act somewhat early into the game, so I can only imagine how complex that gets as you add more and more Alters.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"quoteBox\">&#8220;One really cool part of the demo was when they dove into Jan\u2019s past, represented by branching life decisions that turned Jan.&#8221;<\/section>\n<p>Speaking of which, one really cool part of the demo was when they dove into Jan\u2019s past, represented by branching life decisions that turned Jan, and his alternates, into the people they are. One scenario shown involved Jan recruiting a version of himself who was an expert botanist due to a critical life decision that led him down a different career path. Coincidentally, that life path resulted in a version of the protagonist who had a better relationship with his now ex-wife, allowing him to better navigate a delicate social situation in addition to gaining some much-needed botany expertise to help on his mission to keep the crew of clones fed.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"the-alters-official-all-by-myselves-jan-character-trailer\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Outside of the base, most of the demo focused on gathering resources to keep the base afloat and feed the production of expansions, the most important material of which is called Rapidium. This magical and rare element enables the rapid growth of organic materials and is connected to Jan\u2019s space mission gone wrong, as it\u2019s the only hope Earth has of getting out of its apparent food shortage. But it has other, more immediate uses as well, namely creating new Alters to help you power your base and help keep you alive long enough for rescue to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say, despite being a super bizarre story that mixes a whole bunch of disparate genres together, I found myself extremely drawn to the uniqueness of this totally strange game. Time will tell if The Alters can balance all of them into a single, cohesive player experience.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"the-alters-official-teaser-trailer-ign-fan-fest-2023\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/the-alters-might-be-the-most-insane-sci-fi-game-ive-ever-seen-and-im-sold\">Go to Source (IGN.com)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All content and images belong to their respected owners.
