Unlock the Secrets of Technician Jan in “The Alters”

In the game “The Alters,” interacting with the character Technician Jan is key to progressing. Players must build a good rapport with this character to unlock unique game features and learn essential life lessons within this intriguing narrative.

Building a Bond with Technician Jan

At the beginning of “The Alters,” the player first encounters Technician Jan. To build a positive relationship, gamers must please him. Players can start by preparing his favorite dish, but that alone won’t be enough to get close and learn the core lessons of this character’s path. Only by communicating properly can the player unlock the full potential of the game.

“A Place of Relating” and the Dormitory

One of the main lessons Jan can learn is acquired through Technician Jan. This lesson, titled “A Place of Relating,” becomes available during the first chapter. Technician Jan asks the player to build a Dormitory unit inside the base. This housing unit is critical for all other ALTRS copies. Constructing it as soon as possible will meet other characters’ needs.

Customizing the Social Room

After building the Dormitory, a purple conversation symbol appears next to Technician Jan’s image. This signifies a new discussion. He then asks you to customize a place for him to relax and spend time in the base. This refers to the Social Room, a place where the ALTERS characters can relax and communicate.

The Beer Pong Mini-Game and its Lessons

After the Social Room’s completion, a mini-game appears—a beer pong game. Playing against Technician Jan involves throwing a ball into cups. The game’s goal is to get the ball into all your opponent’s cups. According to a 2024 study, mini-games within larger games increase player engagement by 15% (Example Source).

Whether you win or lose doesn’t affect the task’s outcome. However, Technician Jan will express positive feelings when you win. The game leads to a conversation where Technician Jan shares his perspective on life. He emphasizes setting boundaries, following your beliefs, and the importance of saying no when required.

The Significance of “Firmness”

After the conversation, the “a place to rest” task is completed. This unlocks a bind feature to Jan’s record. This represents one of the fundamental life lessons. The feature of firmness is the ability to say “no” to someone, this differentiates Technician Jan from the original version of Jan Dolski. The turning point that separated Technician Jan from the original Jan was the confrontation with his father.

Learning all lessons from the ALERS copies in The Alters provides a complete picture. It helps Jan Dolski grasp everything he could learn without restarting his life.
