A demo for survival game The Alters is now available for PlayStation 5 via PlayStation Store, Xbox Series via Microsoft Store, and PC via Steam, developer 11 bit studios announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via 11 bit studios:
From the creators of the critically acclaimed This War of Mine, The Alters invites players into an intense sci-fi survival challenge—one that Jan can’t face alone.
After crash-landing on a hostile planet under a blazing sun, Jan must survive in a high-tech mobile base designed for a crew he doesn’t have. His luck changes when he discovers Rapidium, a resource that, when paired with the Quantum Computer, lets him create Alters—alternate versions of himself based on changing the pivotal decisions from his past.
The Alters aren’t just workers—they’re individuals with their own skills, emotions, and motivations. While essential for keeping the base functional, crafting tools, and mining resources, their distinct personalities can spark tension. Despite their differences, they share a common goal: survive, escape, and rely only on themselves.
The game explores the timeless question: “What if I had chosen differently?” This core theme fuels a deeply personal and thought-provoking narrative as players navigate Jan’s struggle for survival.
The Alters is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and Microsoft Store in Q1 2025. It will also be available via Game Pass.
