The Alters

The game combines survival, base building and role-playing elements with a profound narrative about identity and the consequences of life choices. You take on the role of miner Jan Dolski, who finds himself stranded alone on a hostile planet after a crash landing. A deadly sun is inexorably approaching the planet. To avoid burning up, you must keep a huge, wheel-shaped mobile base constantly moving and gather resources. As this becomes difficult to do alone over time, you use the rare material Rapidium to create alternative versions of yourself. Unfortunately, the clones are based on crucial turning points in your past. One clone might be a talented mechanic, for example, because he made a different decision in his life than the original. Each clone brings its own personality, memories and needs. So while you try not to burn up, you have to expand the base, mediate social conflicts between the different Jans and make moral decisions that influence the course of the story. Genius concept!
