On paper, The Alters sounds a lot like games we've all already played. It's a sci-fi survival game with base building, crafting, and everything else you'd expect. Yet, I've never seen a survival game quite like it, largely due to its focus on a character-driven story in which a worker creates alternate versions of himself in a desperate attempt to survive. It's an ambitious project, though one that's undeniably exciting on premise alone. Thankfully, to celebrate the homestretch towards the game's 2025 launch, you can download The Alters demo to try it out right now.
