“Forged in the Spirit of Useful Entertainment“, like the studio’s previous productions, The Alters presents itself as a sci-fi game on the theme of alternative possibilities, taking as its model the case of Jan Dolski, a worker isolated on a distant planet who has no choice but to create alternative versions of himself . “They are not clones. They are alters, i.e. alternate versions of the same person“, immediately specifies the director Tomasz Kisilewicz. The personality and the skills specific to each of these alters will be forged by his life course and therefore by the choices of the player. What is certain is that it will be necessary to take care of each of these Jan Dolski in what will perhaps be a management or strategy type game, given the pedigree of 11 bit studios.
“Have you ever wondered how your life might have been different, if you had made other decisions? How might your personality or way of thinking have been impacted if you had chosen a particular education or career path over another? The Alters is a game regarding those decisions that may seem laughable and binary, that take just a few nanoseconds, yet influence a lifetime.“, explains the press release.
Carried by a team of more than 30 people mainly composed of the creators of This War Is Mine, The Alters has been in the works for nearly three years. Developed on the Unreal engine, the game has no launch window yet and is only announced on PC at the moment.
