Yesterday, we exclusively announced that developer 11 Bit Studios will soon be dropping a playable demo of The Alters, the team's alluring and unique new survival game. Today you can check out 14 minutes of gameplay from that demo in the video above, and then play the demo for yourself on Steam on June 10 until June 17.
So what is The Alters? Well, we encourage you to watch our recent hands-on preview below, but in short, you play as Jans. But not just one Jans. Lots of Jans. See, you're a miner on a hostile planet who must pull in versions of yourself from other realities in order to survive. But they're not mere clones. Rather, they're you but they've lived their own completely unique lives, and as such they'll bring different looks, skills, and personalities to your tall task at hand.
Enjoy that demo gameplay video at the top of this page, and be sure to check back all June long for lots more coverage of The Alters as our June IGN First "cover story"! Check out more of The Alters on their Steam page.
Ryan McCaffrey is IGN's executive editor of previews and host of both IGN's weekly Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, as well as our monthly(-ish) interview show, IGN Unfiltered. He's a North Jersey guy, so it's "Taylor ham," not "pork roll." Debate it with him on Twitter at @DMC_Ryan.
