It may be the most potent question ever asked by a videogame, and the answer is: You'd get The Alters, a sci-fi, survival, base-building, resource-gathering, narrative-heavy thing that I recently got a chance to play for myself, and which releases this year on Steam.

The goal is to find Rapidium, a kind of wonder resource capable of accelerating biological growth that your sinister corporate overlords are very keen on hoarding.
