Which often makes the end of humanity the best time to interrogate it.

Sci-fi adventure 1000xResist from developer Sunset Visitor uses its post-apocalyptic scenario to do just that.

Those eyes, though, are kaleidoscopic one become many.

The Allmother isn’t often directly present within 1000xResist’s story.

But she hangs over every facet.

The Allmother, Iris, in 1000xResist holds up a sharp knife and says “Did I not give you life?"

The bloody act provides a bombastic opening that leaves us with the question: why?

Above them all is Principal, ensuring everything continues to run smoothly.

But we know that for Watcher, there will be an awakening.

An Occupant suspends bodies in the air 1000xResist with red lighting. Knower says “They were indeed chosen by theOccupants.” You have the choice to say “chosen to die” or “chosen to suffer”

It’s the perfect set-up to confirm each Communion feels fresh.

Naturally, each has quite a different reaction to the events they’re immersed within.

Where’s the line between Iris, Allmother, Watcher, and the rest of the Sisters?

The Bartender in 1000xResist asks you “What can I load up for you?” The options are Blue Communion, Inside Sunrise, Dark ‘n Sinful, and Bloody Sister. The bar is lit brightly, and balloons are in the background. Instead of glasses, the counter features strange wired devices.

And where do they all really belong?

Tying it all together is the Orchard itself.

That is, until later chapters smartly recontextualize the spaces you’ve grown familiar with.

Watcher explores The Orchard in 1000xResist, standing on a walkway near another Sister. Locations are marked ahead: Conspiracy Shell, Helpful Shell, Assertive Shell, Understudy Shell, and Director Shell

Time always moves on.

Taken a chapter at a time, its 11-12 hour runtime doesn’t feel too long at all.
