The Alters

I withdrew my last review to this game because as I played more of the game, if you can't seem to get your crew working, don't have enough supplies, not enough storage space for the planetary materials you need to survive in the game, you will eventually run into the problem that that game will only last about 40 days in game. You have to constantly go to sleep, and each day the sun gets closer and closer to the planet, which means if that happens, no matter how far you are in the game, its game over. Its you beat the game basically in one try or you just fail, and then you have to start either all over or a previous save from the looks of it. The only interesting thing about this game for me was that you were able to take what they called a Quantum Computer, and it branches out your memories, which then you use a planetary material called peridium to use in the Quantum Computers detailed structures of your past memories and creates a life path for a clone or in this case hence the name "Alters" into either a Scientist, Miner, Doctor, and Technician. These become your "Altered Physical Reality Self" helping you on board the mobile space station. If you can't get them to work or don't have enough crew, resources, and storage space, time will run out in the game and the sun will basically kill you and your crew and burn the space station up, and again which means game over. I thought it was good in the beginning but then I realized once I hit the last day, I had 11 hours and my main character was tired from working, and I had to sleep, as soon as he woke up, game over. Was an interesting start to the game, but to put this kind of element into it where its just game over no matter how far you get in your resources, it's a time sensitive game, and it was like to much of the sims elements was in it, you had to worry about resources, to the alters moods, to having stock, and storage space. Bit of an overload. The game is fun, just a little to much micromanagement.
