Warsaw-based dev team members responsible for strategy game This War of Mine have developed The Alters, built in Unreal Engine 5. The science fiction survival game has launched for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S with Game Pass, and Windows through Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.

Players control everyman Jan Dolski. Having crash-landed on a distant planet, Jan utilizes a locally sourced crystal called Rapidium to fabricate alternative versions of himself in a desperate attempt to survive the threat of deadly solar radiation. The player character can build relationships with his Alters, influencing their decisions while deploying them on critical base-building missions.


The Alters Original Game Soundtrack by Frostpunk series composer Piotr Musiał is available for purchase through Bandcamp and Steam, with streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited.

Single "The Alters Theme" is streaming on YouTube Music, recorded in collaboration with mastering engineer Matthias Adloff. The soundtrack announcement trailer can be viewed on 11 bit studios' YouTube channel.


From the Bandcamp product description:
The one-of-a-kind soundtrack for The Alters was created by Piotr Musiał, best known for his compositions for games like The Witcher, Frostpunk and This War of Mine. For The Alters, Musiał chose to stray from the obvious path when it comes to this genre of games and head for something more original: “While many sci-fi soundtracks these days favor the sound of analog synths, the idea behind the music of The Alters was a bit different. We wanted the music to feel more untraditional and mix digital, glitchy elements, unstable reverb with organic sounds, all of which together could support this unique story.”
