1000xRESIST is a narrative-driven sci-fi adventure game developed by Sunset Visitor and published by Fellow Traveller. Set a thousand years after an alien-induced pandemic decimated humanity, players assume the role of Watcher, a clone serving the enigmatic ALLMOTHER, Iris—the sole human immune to the alien plague. Through a process called Communion, Watcher delves into Iris's fragmented memories, uncovering secrets that challenge the foundations of their society. The game's storytelling is non-linear, allowing players to explore pivotal moments across time, piecing together a complex narrative that intertwines personal identity with collective memory.
The gameplay emphasizes exploration and dialogue over combat, immersing players in a richly detailed world where every interaction deepens the overarching mystery. The Orchard, an underground sanctuary for Iris's clones, serves as the central hub, with various roles assigned to clones such as Fixer, Healer, and Knower, each contributing to the community's survival. As Watcher uncovers unsettling truths about the ALLMOTHER and the nature of their existence, players are faced with choices that influence the game's multiple endings, reflecting on themes of autonomy, sacrifice, and the essence of humanity.
Critically acclaimed for its poignant narrative and innovative approach to storytelling, 1000xRESIST has been lauded as one of the standout indie games of 2024. Its unique blend of science fiction and emotional depth offers a compelling experience that resonates with players long after completion. Available on Windows and Nintendo Switch, 1000xRESIST invites players to embark on a thought-provoking journey through memory, identity, and resistance.
