As a part of the March Xbox Companion Preview, we’ve obtained a first look on the gameplay of 11 Bit Studio’s The Alters. A recreation about using your self in house.

The Alters has you play as a miner named Jan Dolski, who will get stranded on one other planet.

To remain alive, he must make use of a base that, sadly, requires a number of skilled folks to run. Conveniently, the planet can also be house to a substance known as “Rapidium,” which permits Jan to make totally different variations of himself known as Alters. Each is an alternate model of himself with their previous having been modified.

The trailer provides examples the place Jan fights to avoid wasting his marriage or doesn’t depart his hometown. He’s capable of alter selections in his previous and construct them into these Alters, which provides them expertise that he doesn’t have, to allow them to assist him survive. Nonetheless, the trailer factors out that their totally different pasts can create friction between the crew, as they’ve their very own objectives and personalities.

It seems like an attention-grabbing idea. I simply must marvel how the gameplay will steadiness out between administration and exploration. Is there crafting? I hope not, as a result of I’ve accomplished sufficient of that.

The Alters is ready to launch on Xbox Sequence X|S and PC later this yr.
