The Alters, developed and published by 11 bit studios, is an ambitious sci-fi survival game launching on June 13, 2025. It uniquely blends survival, adventure, and base-building genres with a deep narrative exploration of identity and choice. Players take on the role of Jan Dolski, the sole survivor of a space expedition, who must strategically create alternative versions of himself, known as "Alters," by utilizing a rare substance called Rapidium. Each Alter materializes based on a different pivotal past decision made by Jan, equipping them with distinct skills and emotional profiles vital for the crew of his mobile base. The game promises a profoundly personal journey as players navigate resource management, base development, and the perils of an alien environment, all while confronting themes of destiny, personal struggles, and complex moral dilemmas.

At the heart of The Alters lies the profound philosophical question of "what if?", allowing players to directly explore the impact of past choices. This is realized through the creation of "Alters," each representing a specific path Jan could have taken, transforming abstract decisions into tangible crew members. This mechanic makes Jan's struggle for survival "a deeply personal experience" as players shape his relationships with these alternate selves, leading to a branching narrative with multiple outcomes and endings. Pre-release reception has praised the game for finding "the humanist side in a genre rooted in systems and management" and for its narrative depth, which some claim puts "even the best story-driven RPGs to shame."

Core to the gameplay is a demanding survival experience within a hostile alien environment. Players must meticulously manage resources and protect Jan and his Alters from constant threats, including deadly anomalies, pervasive radiation, and the planet's unforgiving day and night cycle. The alien world itself is depicted as highly dangerous, featuring "levitating rocks and eerie distortions of reality," alongside "invisible" singularities that require specialized tools to navigate. The persistent risk of "instant death, radiation-induced injuries, and even disintegration of time and space" underscores the brutal and unforgiving nature of the environment, making every decision critical for survival.

To cope with these dangers and ensure continued existence, players will engage in extensive resource gathering, collecting essential metals and organics from the planet's surface. These resources are crucial for "creating necessary items or develop your base with additional modules like Research Lab or Social Room." A key challenge in resource management involves difficult trade-offs: players will often have to decide between crafting items that benefit individual Alters or those essential for advancing the mission, such as Anomaly Detectors or Radiation Filters. The burden of these choices, and the inability to satisfy everyone's needs, will heavily fall on the player's shoulders, adding a layer of strategic and emotional complexity to managing the crew of Alters.

The Alters is categorized as an adventure, sci-fi survival, base-building, management, strategy, and exploration game. Developed and published by 11 bit studios, it is set for release on PC (Windows 10 or later, 64-bit) on June 13, 2025. Minimum system requirements include 16GB RAM, an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or Intel Core i7-6700 CPU, an AMD Radeon RX 570 or nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 (6+ GB VRAM), and 50GB of SSD storage. Recommended specs suggest an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X or Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, and an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT or nVidia GeForce RTX 2070 (8+ GB VRAM). The game features full English audio, interface, and subtitles, with interface and subtitles available in 11 other languages, and carries a mature content description that may include realistic violence, blood, and other adult themes.
