THE ALTERS Gameplay Walkthrough Part 3 No Commentary
In The Alters, the player assumes control of Jan Dolski, a builder working on the Project Dolly space expedition. Jan needs to pilot a massive, wheel-shaped base along the planet surface to stay out of the range of the sun, which can kill him due to lethal radiation. It is a survival game in which players need to explore the planet and mine for resources and materials, which is essential for maintaining and expanding the base. Infrastructure, such as electricity pylons, must be built to provide power for mining equipment. Base expansion is similar to games such as Fallout Shelter and XCOM, with players being tasked to attach new rooms and modules to the base, advancing its capabilities and keeping its crew content. Each segment of the game is timed, as the sun will rise and obliterate the player's entire crew. One second of real-world time is equivalent to one in-game minute.
