Teamwork is crucial, but despite – or perhaps, thanks to – being genetically identical, Jan’s parallel selves may not get along. “[Their] paths branch at different stages or certain ages, defining their personality and – most importantly – identity,” says director Tomasz Kisilewicz. “The result is a different being that is annoyed by [different] things and driven by different motivations. Understanding them correctly is key to success in the game.
The creation of Dolski’s alters is pure science-fiction – they come from a magic material called Rapidium – but the premise of “different personalities coming out of the same person” is familiar from; “alter” is sometimes used to describe the identity states of a person with DID. “It is important that the alters not only share the same body but also a large part of their life paths, and thus their personality,” Kisilewicz comments.
