The Alters Hands On Preview - It's Wild

[@ACGreviews]

www.acgamer.net/post/alters-hands-on-preview www.patreon.com/AngryCentaurGaming Alters is a game where you, a random worker alone on an alien planet, decide the only way to get your work done is to make a bunch of copies of you. With the help of some REALLY bad ideas, this results in an odd story of different clones all broken off from random memories of your past.

[@JackWse]

It's only one half if you do tongue twisters the whole time...

[@R3TR0J4N]

Death Stranding, Subnautica, and Fallout Shelter. thats neats for a mix genre.

[@Scroolewse]

Calling it Subnautica influenced is giving it some pretty big shoes to fill. I don't really see how this world is even as remotely interesting as Subnautica's ocean

[@R3TR0J4N]

@@Scroolewse fr I didn't expect the game to have gameplay reminiscent of Death Stranding, the trailer really had that pitch of being a fallout shelter with Subnautica exploration and narrative.

Fantastic preview, intriguing game!

Thanks.

[@fahadfaruqi3827]

like kenshi in space ... i really dig this

[@Planeta1951]

very nice

[@addynaruto1221]

The voice acting in this game must be insane and a huge amount of work for the actor

[@Wiffernubbin]

Man's getting paid.

[@babybirdhome]

Sounds like Orphan Black. Hopefully he can do as well as Tatiana Maslany did - you really got the sense that they were all different people through that series.

[@AlienDarkmind]

Story sounds a lot like the movie "moon". Have to try this at some point.

[@bbqR0ADK1LL]

That tipsy running animation is very reminiscent of Death Stranding. This game looks really intriguing, I'll definitely be following it.

Giving off some Returnal vibes I like it 👍

[@levischooling6279]

Played the demo on steam and i'm instantly in love. Wil be buying this day one. If the demo is this fleshed out and zero crashes, i think it's a solid day one buy

[@mygamecomputer1691]

It’s interesting, but I’m tired of these games where I’m alone in the universe, in this case surrounded by Versions of myself. I’m also tired of depression simulators. Just so that’s more clear for the younger people. When you get older you want there to be happiness, when you’re younger (at least it used to be like this) everything is happy so you look for something to make you feel sad. I don’t need that, I’m looking to feel happy.

[@zohanrock]

like the plot of Moon, the movie.

[@preppen78]

looks like it could be. Seems it has great potential, but might take some investment to get through.

[@Scroolewse]

Fucking great movie. It relied very heavily on Sam Rockwell's crazy talent, that's what this kind of plot demands. The voice actor here really needs to bring it

[@zohanrock]

@@Scroolewse i went in completely blind and enjoyed it thoroughly. Don't forget Kevin Spacey's creepy voice performance as the robot.

[@DrRhomboid_Goatcabin]

The most amazing thing is, this is a 2024 game where the main character is a man!! A Caucasian one at that! How on earth will this sell? 😂

[@PamdaDev]

mindfuck the game. also, ive watched a bunch of shyamalan movies so here is the end game plot twist. i bet that in the end you will find out that the first person you play as is already a clone of some sort and that the original is either dead or was the one that caused the crashland

[@capnphuktard5445]

It looks like this is what it would be like if Ridley Scott directed a video game.

[@capnphuktard5445]

@@Dayzura Hopefully you can play it stand alone with no Internet. If so I'll buy this day one. It looks amazing

[@Scroolewse]

John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is coming soon. Hopefully we see more film director games.

Alex Jordan is a good voice actor. Hope this does well

[@dalenjames5743]

I was super interested in this when I heard you talked about it on the podcast I really hope they nail this.

[@g3ar75]

Just finished the demo and I love how they did this so far, really interested to see how it holds up on release :)

[@anaththeanswer89]

This is something I've been watching out for. So glad to hear that it's good! Got me to wishlist it. Can't wait to play this.

[@deaconfuse3850]

Cool, it all looks good to me, very cool esthetic. I like I really like the fallout shelter looking base wheel. Thanks

[@Winters637]

Karak always coming in with the deep philosophical questions. Is a boat just a reverse bathtub? Is sex with yourself masturbation or just 1/2 of a 69?

This "alters" memory editing idea IS wild. Damn, this seems awesome.

1 minute after 11 minute video comes out: "wow incredible game and video loved it A+"

[@PoeLemic]

This is a DAY ONE buy. I see this the same as I did the game THE CAPES, which is an incredible Xcom-like game for superhero. I can't wait until THE ALTERS come out. DAY ONE BUY.

[@Elknkam]

This looks like alot like Death Stranding ,but more gamplay and less bloat if cutscences and self-congratulatory rhetoric..cough...Kojima...cough....

[@BFoltyn7]

Another great vid, ACG! Thanks! Finished the demo - fantastic! Like Fallout: Shelter (citizens), Subnautica (explore/craft), and Astroneer (craft/build) all in one. Looking forward to some minor polish and final release!

[@kamilnurkowski]

Creating altered versions of yourself and interacting with them is a crazy and promising idea. Especially while discovering mesmerizing alien world. Demo was great, I look forward to full game!

[@crybirb]

This game is 100% what I did not expect. Came here after the demo release, I was expecting something like Frostpunk.

[@HandsomeAlex25]

Sounds really neat. I'm a sci fi fan, and this story / world exploration / sci fi themes mashup looks just about right for me.

[@whatisbestinlife8112]

Gives off serious Death Stranding vibes, both visually and thematically.

[@nismodragon]

Sounds like they took the concept of the movie "Moon" 2009, and added more layers and mystery to it. Not bad. Check out the movie.

[@bartonfink8043]

looks awesome, nice preview man!

[@tgk3624]

Looks kind of cool

[@DoctorRevers]

Yeah looks like nba 2k controls. Not good. They should fix that cause bad controls can ruin an otherwise good game. Amazing idea for a game though. Hope it all comes together and holds up. And what the hell is that sheep for?

[@jacobsteele7138]

Im getting tired of all the scifi and fantasy games. Would enjoy an exploration game going down the amazon set in the 1930's.

[@ghostpants3770]

Wow. While challenging, this must've been super fun for the writers and actor.

[@a_lethe_ion]

That's an interesting premise considering that it would be possible to clone a female version by removing a haploid x sperm cell and doubling its genetic information - with the risk that any gene defect will express fully

[@thegameslave2]

Some of these mechanics have been seen in other games of course, but combining them into a single game like this, and adding in that cloning "each life is different" mechanic to it, definitely looks like it creates a unique experience. I'm also curious as to what will happen to them all by the end. Hope they don't all get murdered/killed.

[@chelseaedge902]

Question for your next podcast. If you could only play one game for the rest of your life what game would that be? could be on any platform Me and my boyfriend Tom are big fans of the podcast we are from the United Kingdom.

[@LordLOC]

I'm still honestly shocked that the studio that made the Anomaly TD games, now makes awesome looking games like The Alters etc. Awesome stuff.

[@MaximumNewbage]

I think the game was called Fallout shelter, not Fallout tactics

[@pavlotverdokhlib7627]

I love experimental games that smush genres together. Really curious about this one, wonder if they'll do a demo before release?

[@ajeje1996]

"Is sex with another version of yourself masturbation or just one half of 69?" What a rollercoaster of a sentence 😂

Sounds like the devs are fans of the bobiverse novels. This is a really cool concept for a game and I hope it sticks the landing.

They aren't real because the memories the alter have did not physically happen. Don't let delusion altered memories get to you. The main character is the only real alter because real event happen to him and not just memories that's altered

This game looks really interesting I hope they can pull it off. Quite ambitious it seems.

I like that opposed to most games in this genre, not only is it 3rd person, but it has really decent animations and physics to go with it.
