The Alters started as a promising critical hit; in fact, our reviewer gave it a stand-out 4.5/5, and it's received pretty much widespread acclaim.
Unfortunately, The Alters has now found itself embroiled in an artificial intelligence (AI) controversy, as the latest game from 11 Bit Studios has drawn criticism for allegedly using generative AI in both its background in-game text and, more seriously, in its localization.
While these would draw criticism regardless, the worst part of the situation is that the use of generative AI has not been disclosed, despite Steam's policy that any kind of content created with the help of AI during development must be stated.
As the controversy was just heating up, 11 Bit Studios has just published a statement on the matter.
