Description

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.

A very choice oriented, story driven, base building / survival game where you must balance time restraints and the various personalities / wants and needs of your ‘Alter’ selves against keeping your base away from the rising sun on an alien planet you have crash landed on. There’s a lot of heart put into the story of this game and it was a true pleasure to play through.
  • Amazing story
  • Unique combination of game mechanics and upgrades
  • Fun live action ‘short movies’ to find and watch
  • Save system only saves once each completed day, my only gripe about the game

Great game overall
  • Perfect atmosphere
  • A bit challenging but not too much
  • Good story and deep and interesting theme
  • No "free mode", everything is therefore quite "linear"
  • Not enough challenging even with max difficulty in a first run.

Loved the game so much that I will start another run immediately after the 1st one

An interesting game that gives a good perspective of life choices and consequences. We always thought about "what if I didn't do this... and did that...?" in our lives, this games represents that. With a very well written story, good graphics and gameplay, it makes a difference. I've played the game twice on XBox Live and decided to purchase just to support the devs.
  • Amazing story and Survival elements
  • A good perspective of live choices and consequences
  • Very good replayability.
  • Very short
  • After you get how the "game works" it turns dull
  • You reach the best upgrades soon before the ending. No time to use them

Still haven't finished the game, but so far, I'm absolutely thrilled and I'm enjoying every minute of it. A very interesting concept for a game, great story so far, very nice graphics, music is phenomenal as well. I have only words of praise for this game.

While i haven't played the entire game yet, it is a very interesting story. The base building aspect is pretty cool, and you need to think about which rooms you need. The more rooms you have, the more organics you need to move the base. The choice of which alters u want to get is also pretty good, though it is a bit restricted in which alters are available at the start (Act 1). The resource management and production is also pretty well done, but make sure to keep an eye on your current resources, and which ones you need. I would definitely recommend this game if you like space building/survival games.

I have been playing the game until act 2, not only is it about management and it is nice but it can be frustrating, when you have 2 days left for the sun to rise and die if one day you have done everything possible to make it profitable and dies you have to go back to 0 losing all progress, if there are 2 days left for the sun to rise and you don't have time you have lost, if you still try to get ahead and send the alters to work, they will get stressed and mutiny, you die again you lose everything and so on, it is the game of having children and being an outcast from everyone, the truth is how boring.
