It offered a haunting perspective on the horrors of war, forcing players to make impossible choices to survive. Now, with The Alters, we’re taking you on a new, deeply personal survival journey – one that shares familiar themes but unfolds in an entirely different setting. How do these two games compare? In This War of Mine, you guided a group of civilians struggling to stay alive in a besieged city. Their survival depended on resource management, tough moral decisions, and the ability to hold together in a world that had fallen apart. In The Alters, you begin your journey alone stranded as the sole survivor of a space expedition gone wrong. To stay alive, you must create a new crew, but not in the way you might expect. Your only option is to create alternate versions of yourself – alters – each shaped by different life choices and each bringing unique skills to aid your mission. Yet, survival isn’t just about skill sets. In This War of Mine, managing your shelter is critical. This time, your home is a mobile base traversing a hostile alien planet, shielding you from its unforgiving environment. Expanding and optimizing this base will be essential, but doing so with multiple versions of yourself, all carrying their own perspectives and baggage, is bound to create tensions you never saw coming. Venturing outside is just as crucial. In This War of Mine, scavenging for resources under the cover of darkness was a necessity. In The Alters, you must leave the safety of your base to extract vital resources. Yet this time, the threats do not come from enemy soldiers. The planet itself is a relentless adversary, with a scorching, radioactive sun creeping ever closer. Time is constantly working against you and every moment matters. Both games demand that you make tough choices. Choices that weigh survival against the needs of those around you. In The Alters, however, those people are all different versions of you. What happens when your greatest challenge isn’t just the world outside but the variations of yourself cramped in one base? Survival has never been more personal. Take care, 11 bit studios.

This War of Mine's spiritual successor demo now available!Jun 13, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, As 11 bit studios we're known mostly as the developers of This War of Mine and Frostpunk but there are more games we're working on! The Alters is a title developed by a team that consists of many former This War of Mine creators and as such is in many ways a spiritual successor to this cult game. While the setting is totally different, taking you to a distant planet instead of a war-torn city, the game aims to ask as many important questions. Just like in This War of Mine, The Alters’ main protagonist faces impossible odds and must discover how far he is willing to go in order to save his life. See the latest Gameplay Trailer: Jan Dolski is a simple worker who faces impossible odds. Crash-landing on a distant planet, stranded and alone, he seems trapped with no way out. Jan’s only hope for survival is to employ additional helping hands on board his mobile base… but how? Improvising as he goes, Jan uses the local Rapidium substance to create alternate versions of himself: The Alters. Play The Alters Demo and see for yourself what it's like to be Jan(s). Right now, until June 17th you can play The Alters demo during Steam Next Fest.

Stranded on an inhospitable planet, Jan must create alternative versions of himself to survive on board a mobile base. These “Alters” are more than just new sets of skills. Each one of them is a human being, a genetic alteration of Jan Dolski with emotions, fears, and memories. Getting along with them is a struggle in itself for our hero, a struggle he cannot avoid as impending doom is approaching with each second. It’s this form of emotional management, combined with the management of the base space itself that fans of This War of Mine will find both familiar and satisfying. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1601570/The_Alters/?utm_source=steam&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=regular&utm_content=TWOMxAlters Don’t wait, wishlist The Alters on Steam!

Now, if you want to pick it up for yourself, you can get one of the most hard-hitting war stories, the excellent This War is Mine, as essentially a free game alongside it.
