Alterity Experience – Review

After moving out to the family ranch in Northern California our protagonist Anton Cornwell is enjoying a peaceful life when rumours of strange phenomenon in the area pass you by like the sun-soaked days.

Everything’s “California dreamin” until a strange purple substance appears affecting all crops in the area, so with the wife and kids out at the movies, it’s time to investigate. You’ll explore your residence using the regular FPS controls to move, crouch and run around as you try to get to the bottom of what’s going off with the mysterious purple substance, starting off with a rock-like fragment on your desk.

You soon discover it leaves traces of purple on anything it touches, before seeing some strange purple lights, followed by your automated door shutters opening up, you’re quickly prompted to close the door and hit the conveniently placed switch next to them to re-close the shutters. It seems your interaction with the purple fragment alerted some form of alien entity to your presence and they want to come in for a cup of tea with a side portion of anal probing, so it’s probably best to keep them out, and you securely inside.

For the main portion of the game, you’ll need to explore the rooms of your house to find keys to access locked rooms while facing a few sessions of cat and mouse as you jog around to close a few randomly opening shutters again. Thankfully, if you want to avoid leg day, you can pull up your mobile phone and using the smart-home app, easily see and select specific shutters rather than racing around for them.
