One of the most critically acclaimed, innovative, and emotionally resonant sci-fi adventures of recent years has just brought its thrilling tale to a whole new audience.
1000xRESIST launches today on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. And in the best news of all for subscribers, it is available Day One on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
Prepare to dive into a story 1,000 years in the future, where humanity is all but extinguished, and a shocking secret is about to change everything.
A Critically Adored Masterpiece
This is not just another indie release; it’s a cultural phenomenon. Since its initial launch on PC, 1000xRESIST has been nominated for a Hugo and a Nebula award, and is even a Peabody award-winner. It has been featured on numerous “Game of the Year” lists for its rich narrative, striking soundtrack, and over 10 hours of fully voiced dialogue. Now, console players can finally experience this one-of-a-kind story.
The End of Humanity, The Birth of a Lie
The story is set 1,000 years after a mysterious alien race, the Occupants, arrived and wiped out humanity with a disease. The only survivor, an immune and immortal teenage girl named Iris, has birthed a new society of her own clones. These “Sisters” live underground, wearing masks to survive the diseased air, and worship Iris as their ALLMOTHER.
You play as the new Watcher, a sister with the unique privilege of reliving and interpreting the memories of the ALLMOTHER through a process called Communion. But when your closest sister, Fixer, comes to you with a dangerous revelation – that you have all been lied to – she is executed for treason. It now falls to you to dive back into those memories and discover the truth.
A Story Only a Game Can Tell
1000xRESIST is a truly unique experience, born from an eclectic set of inspirations, including the games of Yoko Taro (NieR:Automata), the anime of Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue), and even the theatre of Robert Wilson.
The game masterfully blends multiple genres, shifting perspective both literally and metaphorically. One moment you’ll be in a 3rd-person adventure, the next a visual novel, and then a first-person walking simulator, all while the game throws twists and revelations at you until you question everything you think you know.
You will dive into the memories of the ALLMOTTER, exploring pivotal moments in her life, from her high school days to the creation of the Orchard. You can jump back and forth through moments in time within these memories to solve puzzles and access locked-off secrets. In between Communions, you will explore the Orchard, a large underground hub area filled with characters to speak to and mysteries to uncover.
