Jan Dolski is a simple worker who faces impossible odds. Stranded alone on a distant planet, his only hope for survival is to employ additional helping hands on board his mobile base. Improvising as he goes, Jan uses the local Rapidium substance to create alternate versions of himself: The Alters.

Have you wondered how your life would change if you chose a different path in the past? Who would you become? Jan Dolski is about to face answers to these questions. Each one of his alters has a different personality and background as his life path is a result of a specific change in Jan’s life.
To return home, Jan must not only get along with his Alters but also face some crucial choices he made in the past. The decisions he will make based on that experience can occasionally put someone’s life at risk. The question is - are you ready to deal with the consequences of these choices?

A Race Against Time
The planet Jan has landed on is slowly turning its face towards a giant sun. This means that radiation levels can quickly reach a critical level. Survival on this unforgiving planet is a death race, so the base Jan lives in must remain on the move. This is far easier said than done, as the planet is filled with difficult obstacles our hero will have to overcome.

To move across barren landscapes you need food, fuel, and other precious resources. Luckily, your base is ready to extract them from the surface of the planet. The only problem is that finding these required resources might prove quite challenging… and the time to do so is running out.

- Take the role of Jan Dolski, an everyday man facing impossible odds on a distant planet.
- Face important choices from the past in order to save yourself in the present.
- Build relationships with the Alters and try to influence their decisions.
- Manage a moving base to escape the deadly rays of a rising sun.
- Utilise the planet’s cycle to mine resources and keep your base running.
- Face the planet's dangers, like anomalies and radiation, to achieve your goal.
- Choose your own ending to the riveting sci-fi story with a unique twist.
