The Alters is an ambitious science fiction game with a unique twist. You will play as Jan Dolski, the sole survivor of a stranded expedition on a hostile planet. You will need to form a new crew for your mobile base to survive. With a substance known as Rapidium, you will create alternative versions of Jan —THE ALTERS— each shaped by a different vital decision reflecting the protagonist's past.

As you navigate moral and survival dilemmas, you will explore a branching narrative filled with captivating character dynamics and challenging decisions.

At the same time, you'll be challenged to reflect on one of life's fundamental questions: do we manipulate our destiny, or does it manipulate us? This makes your survival endeavor a profound and personal experience.

Use the quantum computer aboard the base to simulate alternative outcomes of your past choices and unravel Jan's distinct life paths. Each Alter comes to life thanks to the remarkable properties of Rapidium, bringing its own emotional issues and skills to the table. The variations offer opportunities and challenges as you face personal conflicts and manage the fragile dynamics of your crew.

You will need to explore the planet's surface in search of precious resources like metals and organic materials to operate the mobile base. However, venturing beyond the shelter entails the risk of exposing you and the Alters to fatal anomalies and ever-present solar radiation. Therefore, it's crucial to pay attention to the day and night cycle and plan daily activities wisely!

Experience a rich narrative with moral dilemmas and branching paths. Your choices shape Jan's relationships with the Alters, affecting their journey and leading you to face various outcomes and endings.

The resources collected can be used in various ways: create necessary items or develop your base with additional modules such as a research lab or a social room. Sometimes, you'll need to choose between creating items specifically for the Alters and items that advance the mission, like anomaly detectors or radiation filters. The weight of each decision rests on your shoulders, and you will never be able to satisfy everyone's needs.

The planet features unique biomes and secrets to be discovered, but deadly anomalies stand in your way. Levitation stones and mysterious reality distortions draw attention, while other singularities remain invisible to the naked eye, requiring special tools to be unveiled. In all cases, extreme caution is necessary... or face the risk of instant death, radiation injuries, and even the disintegration of time and space. Moreover, it's best to avoid expeditions on the planet at times when intense radioactivity can erode your suit. Have a safe journey!

Jan Dolski is about to face the answers to the infamous "what if?" question through alternative versions of himself. This makes the situations even more disconcerting as you slowly uncover the impact each choice has on Jan's survival.

The Alters bring forth some of life's most unsettling questions.
