    The Alters is one of those games that draws you in with its genre, but keeps you hooked with its mechanics, story, and challenges. It poses the 'What if?' question in a brilliant way. The ability to create multiple versions of the protagonist is its strongest feature. It’s an intriguing experience with room for improvement, but one that will reward players who take the time to give it a chance.

    A management game where you have to handle people as well as just spreadsheets, but while its sci-fi elements add intrigue the survival gameplay isn’t all it could be.

    The Alters has been one of the most interesting and thought-provoking games I’ve played this year. Its sublime survival aspects are only surpassed by its interactions with Jan and his Alters. It’s a beautiful game on the visual front, but even more so in the fact that it makes you come to grips with yourself. When the time comes, do you think you could depend on yourself?
