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.

Прекрасная игра , рекомендую всем . Одна из лучший историй что я проходил
Moon the movie (2009) the game
The Alters is an action-management game. The story follows a space miner who crash-lands on a hostile planet and is forced to extract a local mineral to survive. Using this resource alongside advanced quantum tech, he creates alternative versions of himself—Alters who made different life choices in parallel timelines and branched off onto entirely different paths. [b]The Short Answer: Is It Worth Buying?[/b] It's a very solid and relaxing game that feels highly reminiscent of This War of Mine, though it leans much heavier into its gameplay mechanics than its narrative. It's perfect if you've already burned through the major AAA hypetrain releases and want to try something unique. If you can grab it on a sale, it's an absolute gem. [b]Playtime[/b] 3/10 It takes around 15 hours if you pace yourself against the timers and complete everything, but it can probably be rushed in about 5–6 hours if you strictly focus on pushing the main story line. [b]Story[/b] 7/10 A stranded miner must build a crew out of his own alternate-reality selves, balancing the mission with the psychological baggage of his past choices. [b]Music[/b] 7/10 Unobtrusive and atmospheric throughout the experience, but the music in Act 3 stands out as absolutely amazing. [b]Graphics[/b] 7/10 Unreal Engine (clean and polished presentation). [b]Mechanics[/b] 6/10 The gameplay loop consists of managing resources, expanding your extraction operations, and building out a modular base (essentially a giant wheel split into square blocks). The action component is fairly minimal—it’s just there to break up the pace, playing out like a cinematic "aim and hold the button" sequence. You get access to tech upgrades, and while your choices do affect the narrative, the overall story divergence feels quite minor. The movement physics and running mechanics share a very striking resemblance to the weight and momentum found in Death Stranding. [b]Personal Take[/b] It provides a great chill loop of running around, constructing sections, constantly micromanaging your different Alters, and trying to stay alive. However, managing the clones and their emotional states can feel a bit frustrating, as the optimal choices often feel highly non-obvious. While the concept promises deep individuality, most of the clones end up feeling like static dolls, with only the technician and the doctor actually displaying noticeable personal depth and preferences. And man... I genuinely felt so sorry for that sheep. [b]Overall Score:[/b] 68/100
Very unique and beautiful game. Story and characters are fun and interesting. Sometimes the wandering the world zapping anomalies got a bit tedious, but wasn't too bad. The song during the Jan-bro roadtrip in their mobile base was a nice surprise.
плюсы: увлекательный геймплей, который не даёт расслабиться ни на секунду - постоянно нужно решать задачи и пополнять ресурсы, интересные персонажи, каждый со своей уникальной личностью и загонами, к каждому из которых нужно искать подход, экзистенциальный сюжет, который наталкивает на мысли о собственных выборах в жизни минусы: нельзя трахнуть физика
Really one of the most amazing gaming experiences of my life. I became so invested in the characters that finishing my first playthrough today left me with a real sense of nostalgia. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys great stories, deeply developed characters, and resource management games. P.S. Relax Mode is truly underrated. I'll definitely use it on my next playthrough.
This is cool!!!
Best example of fresh game concept, eclectic entertaining gameplay and awesome story. Best game for me so far. Totally recommend it for everyone.
While the underlying story and character dynamics might not be for everyone, the core game mechanics deliver plenty of 'the same' plus some nice new stuff to make your brain ache.
Шедевр!
