First Look at Sci-Fi Survival in The Alters
Polish development team 11 bit studios has officially released a gameplay video for their latest project, The Alters, confirming its availability on PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for console in 2024. This emotional, science-fiction adventure offers players a glimpse into protagonist Jan Dolski’s journey across a dangerous planet, grappling with the theme of personal transformation and survival against all odds.
Journey of Survival and Self-Discovery
Set against the backdrop of an inhospitable planet under the harsh light of a relentless star, The Alters introduces players to Jan Dolski, a lone survivor faced with the monumental task of escaping this deadly environment. Drawing inspiration from their acclaimed title, This War of Mine, 11 bit studios presents a narrative-rich experience that challenges players to navigate the complexities of survival, where success hinges not just on physical prowess but on the ability to adapt and overcome personal limitations.
The Power of Alters
Central to the gameplay is the discovery of Rapidium, a rare substance that empowers Jan to create Alters—alternate versions of himself, each with unique abilities critical for survival. These Alters, born from pivotal moments in Jan’s past, offer a diverse range of skills necessary for repairing shelters, crafting tools, and gathering resources. More than just functional avatars, these characters are designed with their own emotional depth, aspirations, and doubts, enriching the narrative and potentially complicating their shared mission of escape and survival.
Anticipation Builds for The Alters Release
As The Alters prepares for its launch later this year on Windows 11 PCs and consoles, the anticipation for this unique blend of science fiction and survival gameplay continues to build. With its debut on PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for console, a wide audience of gamers will have the opportunity to embark on this journey of survival, identity, and self-discovery.
Stay tuned for more updates on The Alters as its release date approaches, and prepare to explore the depths of human resilience in the face of otherworldly challenges.
