This demo is 10+/10 - couldnt be better
Currently the final version is my most anticipated title.

Base management, exploration and storyline - all served up here in a way that is so unique on the one hand, and on the other - approachable, palatable, mixed with my favorite elements (alien planet, struggle for survival, amazing graphics).

The hype is overloaded

I'm extremely, extremely impressed with the demo too, the *only* small nitpick is the running speed and animations are a bit wonky, but that's really it.

Neat idea, executed really well, really looked forward to the full release now.

I think that's a fair comment yes, did you enjoy what you had played?

The game seems much closer to complete than I expected.. I hope we get a release date soon.

Also agree, would have liked to at least got to the next location [*}, done some more mining/resource gathering etc.

That being said, it was still fun, will be keeping an eye on this one.

* I'm assuming the game loop is basically new location, x number of days to do everything, create a new Alt as and when needed, then drive to the next location, repeat till you get to escape the planet. Perhaps with some puzzles to solve, such as why everyone else in the pods died etc.

The demo left me wanting more, which is good. Definitely will be picking it up on release

Performance and animation jank are my only gripes with it so far. I understand these are things that can be worked on (and performance particularly is something that's taken care of at a later stage of development).

Yeah running animation is kinda goofy, didn't notice many performance hiccups but I have a good setup so perhaps that's why.

I enjoyed the demo a lot and am also looking forward to the full release.

I cant wait for the full release, best concept for a sci-fy game in a long time. The environmental detail is outstanding - it actually looks alien. Only thing I can nitpick is the running animations and character movement is a bit 'bulky' (both in suit and walking around the base). Amazing job.

I love the game didn't just skim the concept as a gimmicky sale point, but really went all in to fully explore the implication of alters. The writing actually made me care about my alters and I felt very motivated to take good care of them. It's so unlike other survival games where you work mostly for yourself. Well done 11 bit studios!

The premise of the story is really unique, I was really impressed. It's really good.
I just wonder if the game is going to be a story that supports the gameplay, or the other way around. The demo currently gives me the feeling that the survival/crafting mechanics are just busywork to push the story forward.

I really love the demo and I normally don't even play games like these. :) I made my first Alter and I love that it doesn't stop there and I have to handle him as well and he is not just a mindless NPC. Awesome!

One hell of a demo. I'm impressed. :cozybethesda:
