Overview of The Alters

Gameplay

Survival on a Hostile Planet

Players take on the role of Jan Dolski, a stranded space miner on a planet with a deadly sun. Your primary objective is to survive by managing your base, gathering resources, and creating alternative versions of yourself.

Create and Manage Alters

The core mechanic involves creating "Alters," alternate versions of Jan pulled from different timelines. Each Alter possesses unique skills and personalities, contributing to the survival of the group.

Base Building

Construct and maintain a mobile base to protect yourself from the sun's lethal rays. This involves resource management, building structures, and power generation.

Exploration and Resource Gathering

Explore the planet's diverse environments to gather essential resources for survival and base development.

Psychological Drama

The game delves into the complexities of human nature as you interact with different versions of yourself. Their interactions, conflicts, and personal struggles create a rich narrative experience.

A Race Against Time

The planet Jan has landed on is slowly turning its face towards a giant sun. This means that radiation levels can quickly reach a critical level. Survival on this unforgiving planet is a death race, so the base Jan lives in must remain on the move.

This, of course, is far easier said than done. The planet is highly inhospitable and filled with many difficult obstacles our Jan will have to overcome.

To move across barren landscapes, you need food, fuel, and other precious resources. Luckily, your base is ready to extract them from the surface of the planet. The only problem is that finding these required resources might prove quite challenging… and the time to do so is running out.

Stranded But Not Alone

Jan Dolski is a simple worker who faces impossible odds. Crash-landing on a distant planet, stranded and alone, he seems trapped with no way out. Jan’s only hope for survival is to employ additional helping hands on board his mobile base… but how?

Improvising as he goes, Jan uses the local Rapidium substance to create alternate versions of himself: THE ALTERS.

Have you wondered how your life would change if you chose a different path in the past? Who would you become? Jan Dolski is about to face answers to these questions which makes the predicament he is in even more daunting.

Each one of his alters has a different personality and background, as his life path is a result of a specific change in Jan’s life.

To return home, Jan must not only get along with his alters but also face some crucial choices he made in the past. The decisions he will make based on that can occasionally put someone’s life at risk.
