This article is part of a directory: The Alters Walkthrough: How to Navigate the Complex Plot and Make the Right Choices

In Journey II of The Alters, you will have one decision you need to make with your alters. As the base moves forward, the alters gather in the kitchen area, arguing once again. They will require you to make the final choice.

This choice is all about what playlist to choose. Each of the alters has a different type of music in mind, and they are at each other's throats trying to get themselves heard. There are four total choices you can make; one for each alter type you in The Alters.

How to Choose a Type of Music in The Alters

After you have completed Act I of The Alters, you will get a choice of some music. The types of music that are called out at this point in the game will vary depending on which alters you have made. For example, the technician, which is the required alter, will want rock 'n' roll, the scientist will want no celebration and no music, the miner will want grunge, the botanist will call for something calm and soothing, the refiner alter will say something about throwing a rave, etc.

It appears that regardless of the types of alters you have picked first in The Alters, you will get the same four choices: rave music, rock 'n' roll, chill and calm, or saying that you don't think everyone should be celebrating just yet.

No matter which one of these you choose, the outcome will be the same: you will get a fun music scene with your chosen alters. None of the choices will lower or raise the alters' happiness levels. So feel free to choose whatever music you like.

What Lyrics Can You Sing In Journey II?

After you choose, you will get one of the funniest cutscenes of the entire game: an entire song sung by all the different alters together, and you get to pick some of the lyrics. There are two branching options, and the lyrics that the main Jan sings will be different based on what you choose. These are the dialogue options in The Alters Journey II's song.

  • "The road ahead of us."
    • "I'm ready for its twists and turns."
      • "I know I'm in it with my friends."
      • "And now the future makes more sense."

    • "I simply don't know where it ends."
      • "I know I'm in it with my friends."
      • "And now the future makes more sense."

  • "The path we've travelled together."
    • "I've been roaming with no guiding light."
      • "Together we can win this fight."
      • "We've got a common goal in sight."

    • "I've made choices that were not always right."
      • "Together we can win this fight."
      • "We've got a common goal in sight."
