About the game

The Alters is a science-fiction survival-adventure with base-building elements developed by Polish studio 11 bit studios. The story begins after a space expedition crashes on a distant planet, leaving a lone survivor—ordinary worker Jan Dolski—who must create alternate versions of himself to survive the hostile environment and find a way home.

The core mechanic revolves around cloning alter-egos with different life paths and skills. Each 'alter' is a Jan who made a different decision at some point in life: one became an engineer, another a scientist, a third a soldier. These copies possess distinct personalities, conflicts, and abilities, turning survival into a team drama.

Players manage a base, gather resources, explore the planet, and maintain relationships between the different versions of Jan. Visually, the project blends third-person and isometric perspectives, creating a broad field for tactical decisions.

It released on June 13, 2025, for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The game is strictly single-player and positioned as an emotional drama about personal choice, identity, and human connection under isolation.

It suits fans of science fiction, narrative-driven survival games, and followers of 11 bit studios' work such as Frostpunk.
