The Alters Last Variable Content Info
What Awaits You in Last Variable?
A brand new story centred around Jan Scientist
Experience an entirely new chapter that follows Jan Scientist after the events of the main game. Lead a team of scientifically minded Alters as they investigate the mysterious Oasis and search for answers hidden beneath the planet’s surface.
Explore and terraform new regions
The Oasis is constantly evolving. Transform the environment to unlock new areas and valuable resources, but be prepared for the consequences. Every change to the landscape awakens the planet’s defensive mechanisms, bringing more frequent earthquakes, deadly radiation waves, and other environmental hazards.
Expand your base underground
Build across different soil types and unlock entirely new construction possibilities. Research advanced technologies and construct new modules, including the Cryosleep Chamber, allowing you to extend your mission and witness the long-term consequences of your scientific discoveries.
Develop new technologies and establish Field Labs
Each planetary cooldown creates a short opportunity to explore a dramatically transformed world. Establish Field Labs that allow your Alters to continue their research while Jan remains in cryosleep, opening up new strategic possibilities and expanding your scientific operations.
