The Alters

11 bit studios, based in Poland, has made a name for itself by creating unusual games, which is perhaps why they're so popular. Examples include the reverse tower defence game Anomaly, the survival game This War of Mine, in which you play a civilian in a war zone, and, of course, the survival building game Frostpunk, in which you must make difficult decisions to ensure the survival of the city. The second instalment expanded upon the political aspects. The Alters is something completely different, but somehow not: a sci-fi survival game set on a hostile planet involving base building, tough decisions and exploration, seen from a third-person perspective. Over 270,000 people have already tried the demo, and the game is currently ranked in the mid-30s among the most wished-for games on Steam. There's clearly a lot of interest in this unusual genre mix.
