Dont call The Alters a game about clones, because thats selling it short. The new upcoming release by 11 Bit Studios presents a fresh-feeling and mesmerizing sci-fi adventure, complete with top-notch atmospheric visuals and a magnificent soundtrack that could end up on best-of lists. While certain individual components of The Alters will seem immediately familiar there’s a little The Sims, Duncan Joness Moon, maybe a touch of Observation it’s safe to say that they’ve never been merged together like this before, or leveraged to tell a story that veers between shuffling discomfort, thrilling exploration, and emotional candor.
