Key quotes
· 3 pulledJust when I got my Jans into the clear and avoided death by irradiating sunrise in The Alters’ very stressful first act, we were hit with yet another obstacle.
Instead, they were staring down the barrel of doom via cloning-induced brain damage, and neither solution to the gray matter medical issue felt morally right — which made the quest all the more engaging.
Jan must figure out a way to keep his Alters alive in Act 2, and both solutions will make you (and Jan) feel queasy.
