The Alters: A Surreal Sci-Fi Adventure Exploring Identity and Survival

The Alters is a unique sci-fi game where players survive on an alien planet by creating emotionally diverse clones called Alters, who are trained in various roles to help manage a base and explore. The game combines resource management with story-rich interactions, emphasizing the complexity of dealing with multiple versions of oneself, and offers a fresh take on genre conventions despite some repetitive dialogue and artificial gameplay elements. Its striking art design and innovative mechanics make it a memorable experience, even if the cover art is unappealing.
