The Alters Preview

One of the best things about video games is anything that can be imagined can likely be made “real” in some way, and The Alters pushes the envelope when it comes to creatively weaving together ideas and video game mechanics. From the development studio of Frostpunk and This War of Mine, The Alters is described as a game about life-changing moments, as players must bring their Alters (variants from a different universe) aboard their ship, which crash-landed on a distant planet. Using their skills to save themselves, players must manage their alters’ personalities, explore the surface of the crashed planet, and make it to safety before the sun rises, destroying everything, in ten days.
