Alters update! Get The Alters Update! Fresh, hot and ready to boot, it has some quality of life elements, some new features and basic stuff like a gamer's lair, unfortunately a photo mode and a number of other things. Now, for your pleasure, I will tell you in detail what these things are.
So, for starters, a new relaxation mode has appeared. It's not as fancy or deep as it sounds, it's essentially just an easier difficulty mode so you can play through the story without worrying about messing up anything. A new save system has been introduced that allows for automatic saves when exiting the game, as well as “important story moments”.
There's also an entire card game in the player's lair, a new base section. I can't really tell you much about it, it only appears briefly in the update trailer, so you'll have to take your chances and figure out the rules yourself. For those who want more storytelling, there is a new side story that will have you uncovering a Noir-style storyline set specifically in the gamer's lair.
Photo mode is like almost every other photo mode in the world, there are a lot of filters, you can put a lot of Jans in different wacky poses, you already know what it is. The basic setup now allows you to change the skins of various modules, which, to be honest, look pretty ugly in the trailer. Finally, you'll find a selection of new spacesuits for you to go out and explore in style.
What's probably worth noting is that the 11 bit studios actually used generative artificial intelligence.”in a very limited way” – that's what they say in The Alters in case you close the game for this reason, but cannot remember why.
