Highly replayable
Very original concept
Believable world
Moments of decision paralysis
Bland soundtrack




Great characters with intriguing arcs
Stupendous voice acting
Survival mechanics are deep, varied, and complex
Some silly glitches to be ironed out


The voice acting by Alex Jordan across all the versions of Jan really helps make them feel unique.
No resource punishment for altering your base setup allows for experimentation.
Very clever writing that invests in longterm payoffs for the player.
The save system, while understandable, can be a little frustrating.
Slightly obtuse in places, but nothing that cannot be overcome with curiosity.
Character faces can lose detail during dialogue sections.


Strong writing and voice acting
Deep management systems with ethical choices
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Backup management is functional to maintain a constant tension.

Interacting with and among the Alters generates memorable moments.
User interface to be improved in certain menus and in the tutorial.
Facial animations are very limited and movements are imprecise.


Extremely strategic resource management, offering good challenges.
Complex and very well created characters
Choices with a real impact on the story and endings
Rewarding exploration full of surprises
Potential graphic problems and bugs


Tough choices, but always rewarding
Can be punishing if you?re not prepared properly


Graphically beautiful
An exciting multi-level choice game
High replayability
Also consistent with the story, at the beginning one feels abandoned to oneself.


... attract you with its psychological depth and identity questions.
... you appreciate light time pressure as a tension element.
... a slower-paced gameplay focused on dialogue rather than constant action.
... too many dialogues or introspective topics can bore you.
... you have no interest in moral gray areas or internal conflicts.
... it bothers you when gameplay mechanics repeat themselves.


An emotional and humanist sci-fi story of self-discovery that's both existential and introspective
+
Base building and management systems are fun and satisfying ? efficiency, optimization, modular base building, it's all here
+
Tough decision making, crisis aversion, and plenty of other high-stake challenges for survivalist sickos
Emotional story beats mostly pull you through, but some sections feel like you're just task-ticking


An exciting multifaceted gameplay
Impressive achievement
No backup during a busy day.
Some dilemmas can be quite cruel at times


Well optimized with stable frame rates on ultra settings, even on a mid-range AMD system.
Challenging gameplay with multiple scenarios that encourage replay.


Varied character personalities
Bugs that negatively impact the experience
Time limits that force area changes


Narrative remains enthralling with compelling mysteries
Gorgeous visuals and presentation
Great dialogue, which flows well thanks to Alex Jordan's performance as Jan
Some odd pixellation issues in close-up scenes


Interesting decisions
Thought-provoking story
Balances serious and silly
Static conversations


A rich gameplay...
A very elaborate and pleasant artistic direction
The original concept of the game with the Alters
Good replay value
A compelling PS5 version
Several difficulty options to customize the experience
A game that does not hold our hand
The title manages to renew itself on several occasions.
... which can, nevertheless, be frustrating at times
Discussions with Alters that are a little too frequent, sometimes.


The rhythm of resource and relationship management is tense but enthralling
The gameplay stress is balanced with a heavy does of humour including some of the finest short films I've seen in a game
Choices matter
Dialogue is riddled with spelling mistakes and tonal whiplash in light of what's actually happening
Third act fizzles out a bit in terms of the established desperate survival tone
Traversing the base on foot is not a good time


The ''branching" mechanic adds a deeper level to the narrative
Constantly keeps things fresh by adding new elements to gameplay and the world
Well constructed narrative and dialogue between alters


Micro-Management
Macro Management
Voice Acting

No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


The different personalities of the Alters are convincing.
An exemplary menu that allows for managing the database with characteristic ease.


More than 20 hours of autonomy for a single use.
A very unusual science fiction scenario is developed in an exciting way in the dialogues.
Decisions with consequences
Motivating management of resources and age.
Affectionate details like short films produced for the Jans' movie nights.
A sober and impressive planetary setting
Fast loading time during fast travels
Alex Jordan delivered a superb performance in all of Jan's roles.
Atmospheric soundtrack
The warehouse overview shows the total capacity, but not how much is made up of manufactured equipment.
The supply of resources and production can sometimes take too long.
Exploration often consists of searching for resources and collecting objects.
Inconsistent time management element (pieces appear immediately, for example)
Some dialogues without facial animations
Talking about age among themselves, the phrases soon repeat.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.
