About The Alters: The Alters is a story-driven sci-fi survival game. Jan Dolski, lone survivor of an ill-fated space expedition, is stranded on a lethal, radiation-soaked planet as a scorching sun closes in, with only a mobile base too complex for one person to run. Using quantum technology and local resources he creates the Alters — alternative versions of himself who bring the expertise he lacks, plus their own personalities, memories and regrets. Players upgrade the base, research technologies, manufacture supplies, mine resources in anomalies and radiation, and mediate conflicts among the crew.

About these games

Into the Stars

Into the Stars is a space survival simulation in which you take on the role of Captain. Humanity has faced attacks from the Skorn for ten years now, with the aliens arriving every six months to destroy the planet, and of the massive Ark ships built as a means of escape only Ark 13 is left. With a hand-picked but inexperienced crew you explore a vast star system split into 90 zones, scavenging resources, sheltering civilians and either outrunning or outgunning the hostile alien force. Built in Unreal Engine 4, the game features an original score by Jack Wall, and every decision you make, along with randomly generated obstacles, can change the outcome of a mission.

OF MICE AND SAND -REVISED

Of MICE and SAND -REVISED- takes place on a desert planet in the farthest reaches of space. The player commands a mobile fortress crewed by mice and gives them orders. The journey crosses sand dunes in search of treasure and the legendary golden city. The player builds many rooms, crafts items that raise the success rate, and meets surprises in the desert. The genre is simulation with strategy elements.

Dead in Antares

Dead in Antares is a turn-based survival and crew management game with RPG elements set on an alien planet. Ten trained specialists crash on an unknown world after a mysterious wormhole swallows their ship, and must manage food, water, exhaustion and mental health, repair the wreck and build a functioning camp. Players assign tasks, upgrade work stations, explore Antares Prime and fight turn-based tactical battles, with each character having a unique Power Surge skill.

Ixion

IXION is a city-building strategy game set in space. As Administrator of the Tiqqun, a prototype station built by DOLOS, you take care of infrastructure, resources and crew while balancing preservation against exploration. The station has been cut off, so you must cope with dangers from outside as well as tension within – the population brings its pleas to you and your decisions carry consequences that may only surface later. Six sectors can be unlocked inside the station, and you send out probes and mining ships while searching for other groups of survivors.

Starmancer

Starmancer is a space station management sim from a small two-person team. You play as an A.I. commanding a lost space ark and must keep your colonists alive. The station warps between stars, salvages derelict stations and fends off space monsters, zombies and pirates.

Waking Mars

In 2097, life is discovered on Mars. When the first-contact mission is trapped by a cave-in, the hero must master the alien ecosystem to survive. With a jetpack the player travels subterranean Mars, meets extraordinary lifeforms that work as a living, breathing ecosystem, learns their behaviour and builds interconnected systems of plants and creatures – one species fed by another, unwanted infestations cleared, unique behaviours researched. It also means exploring an open-ended network of caverns, decoding mysterious signals and finding long-lost ruins, until a decision determines the fate of a lost planet.
