At first glance, The Alters might look like your standard sci-fi survival fare — hostile planet, ticking clock, dwindling resources. But dig a little deeper and you’ll find a layered, emotional journey about identity, consequence, and the lives we never got to live.
In a brand-new trailer, actor Alex Jordan (who voices every version of protagonist Jan Dolski) walks us through 11 essential facts about the game. Each insight is delivered by a different Alter — alternate versions of Jan, each shaped by various life choices and unique experiences.
From managing the creeping threat of a radioactive sun to wrestling with the psychological strain of giving orders to other “yous,” The Alters mixes survival strategy with weighty introspection.
Whether you’re already aboard or just curious, this trailer offers a great look at how the game intertwines mechanics with meaning — and why Jan Dolski’s mission is far more personal than it first appears.
The Alters is out now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
