About
You have crash-landed on a lethal, radiation-soaked planet, and you are running out of time. A scorching sun that burns everything in its path is coming your way. Your only hope of survival is a massive mobile base too complex for one person to operate. You are forced to make a decision no human has ever faced: creating a crew of alternative versions of yourself.
But your solution may just become your biggest problem.
You crashed. You are entirely alone. The sun is a death sentence, and your mobile base must keep moving to outrun it. With no rescue coming, you must find a way to operate it, or you’ll die.
When the planet itself is your enemy, every second spent standing still brings you closer to ash.
To survive, you must move. To move, you need help. Forced to use the base’s advanced quantum technology and the planet’s unique resources, you must create The Alters: alternative versions of yourself. Brought to life by a supercomputer that turned your alternative life choices into reality, they are your only hope. They bring the specific expertise and capable hands you drastically lack, but they also bring their own human baggage.
A crew of ‘yourselves’ is a psychological nightmare. Every Alter arrives with distinct personalities, memories, and regrets. You aren't just managing resources. You are also a relationship manager to yourself, mediating conflicts and confronting your past choices lightyears from home.
As tensions rise, your Alters will clash over how to handle the mission. Keep them sane and keep them together, or your own egos will destroy your only chance of seeing Earth again.
Your rolling base is your lifeline, your factory, and your home. Customize and upgrade it to accommodate your growing crew. Research cutting-edge technologies, manage crucial life-support gear, and manufacture what you need to survive. Turn your base into a self-sustaining powerhouse capable of keeping both your crew fed and your systems humming.
You cannot hide inside the hull forever. To fuel your base and progress your research, you must step out onto the hostile planet's surface. Venture out into unpredictable anomalies and heavy radiation to mine essential resources.
But watch the clock, as every expedition is a high-stakes gamble against the oncoming burning sunrise.

This is a proper story driven sci-fi mind ♥♥♥♥. Written as it should be. I am really hard pressed to tell too much about it for fear of spoilers, but it has a dab of a lot off good things; exploration, base and resource management and a really good story that changes based on your decisions. I have finished the main game twice and the DLC once at this point and highly recommend.
I understand that this may not be a game for everyone, but it's a game I just can recommend anyone who is willing to give this game a fair chance, even if they my don't like games with resource management. This game is blessed with an incredible catching story and I enjoyed every second of my playtime.

Beautiful story, Really engaging, perfect mix for me of base building, survival, storyline and exploration. Wont't come back to the game after finishing the story, but I feel I don't need to. It is like a good book to me. Lost myself in it. it is sometimes a bit slow, but that was exaclty what I needed at the moment in life: Would definitly suggest to others (already have) but not touch myself it for a second time. My advice: dont; read anymore on this game before playing it. going in blanc is worth it
The Alters ist eines der kreativsten und emotionalsten Spiele, die ich seit Langem gespielt habe. Die Grundidee – verschiedene Versionen der eigenen Persönlichkeit zu erschaffen, die auf unterschiedlichen Lebensentscheidungen basieren – ist nicht nur originell, sondern auch hervorragend umgesetzt. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich die Atmosphäre. Die Mischung aus Survival, Basenbau und tiefgründiger Story sorgt dafür, dass man ständig motiviert ist, weiterzuspielen. Jede Entscheidung fühlt sich bedeutend an, und die Gespräche mit den verschiedenen Alters sind spannend, überraschend und oft auch emotional. Grafisch macht das Spiel ebenfalls einen großartigen Eindruck. Die detaillierten Umgebungen und die stimmungsvolle Beleuchtung schaffen eine dichte Sci-Fi-Atmosphäre, die perfekt zur Geschichte passt. Auch der Soundtrack und die Vertonung tragen enorm zum Spielerlebnis bei. Das Gameplay bietet eine gelungene Balance zwischen Ressourcenmanagement, Erkundung und Charakterentwicklung. Es wird nie eintönig, weil immer neue Herausforderungen und interessante Entscheidungen auf einen warten. Insgesamt ist The Alters ein außergewöhnliches Spiel mit einer frischen Idee, starker Story und fesselndem Gameplay. Wer Sci-Fi, Strategie und erzählerische Spiele mag, sollte sich diesen Titel auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen. Für mich mit dem DLC ist es definitiv eines der Highlights des Jahres.

Jogo incrível! História super interessante e ótima jogabilidade. Você precisa tomar decisões importantes que te fazem refletir.
Скептически относился к игре до выхода. Почему то в медиа про неё было мало слышно и релиз я пропустил. Но знаете что, если бы не прошёл эту игру в принципе и она бы для меня осталась неизвестной, то в моей жизни стало на один яркий момент меньше. Серьёзно, к игре требуется большее внимание.
如果你玩过这是我的战争和冰汽时代,外加点死亡搁浅,那我觉得这游戏你应该会很喜欢,相信科学家杨!!!
很优秀的游戏,我是个很看重剧情的玩家,好的剧情能让玩家有着极强带入感,这部作品的代入感虽然谈不上极强,但是也让我很有感触,会设身处地地去思考每个角色、每个选择,让我想起以前玩《赛博朋克2077》的感受,玩完后有后劲。即使觉得玩游戏能让人学到东西的说法会让人发笑,我依然觉得这部作品教会了我某些。 四天连着玩完的,总时长19.1小时,还没玩DLC,使用的手柄,手柄操作完全没问题,个人感觉手柄和键鼠相比,最大的弱点是瞄准不方便,但这个游戏完全不用操心这一点,对射击要求极低,更多是策略游戏。
