Jan Dolski's mission didn't end when the credits rolled on The Alters. Well, perhaps more to the point, Jan Scientist's mission didn’t end. In this powerful new storyline, packed with new mechanics, new Alter types, and more, players will assist this particular version of Jan in conducting the research of a lifetime.
The Oasis - a lush paradise emerging from desolation - becomes Jan's obsession. One he cannot comprehend alone. So once again, he must assemble a crew from alternate versions of himself. A Geologist. A Biologist. A Chemist. A Physicist.
Science is everything for these Jans. But can we really understand everything?
The Alters: Last Variable is out now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S:
The next story focuses on Jan Scientist(s): Jan Scientists, with their perfectly aligned minds, can offer the expertise needed to unravel the phenomenon of the Oasis.
Explore new regions and terraform them: Each transformation shifts the landscape, spawns new resources, and awakens the planet’s defensive mechanism - more frequent earthquakes, severe radiation waves, and other threats.
Expand underground and survive cycles: Build in different soil types, construct new components, and research new modules like the Cryosleep Chamber, which will buy you more time and let you witness the long-term effects of your scientific actions.
Develop new tech and set field labs: Each planetary cooldown offers a brief window to explore a dramatically changed surface, and Field Labs introduces new assignments for alters to continue their work while you cryosleep.
