The three time IGF award nominated 1000xRESIST is a thrilling sci-fi adventure. 1000 years in the future, humanity is all but extinguished and a disease spread by an alien occupation keeps the survivors underground. You are Watcher. You dutifully fulfil your purpose in service of the ALLMOTHER, until the day you learn a shocking secret that changes everything.
In the near future we learn we are not alone in the universe. A mysterious alien race of giant entities arrives. We call them the Occupants.
They are not hostile, but it doesn’t matter. Their arrival is a death sentence. Humanity is wiped out in a matter of months, succumbing to a disease the Occupants have brought to our planet.
There is one survivor, a teenage girl called Iris. Somehow she is immune.
1000 years later. Iris is not only immune but immortal. She has birthed a new society consisting exclusively of her own clones.
She calls them Sisters. They call her the ALLMOTHER.
Unlike the ALLMOTHER, the sisters are not immune. They must wear masks 24/7 to avoid breathing the diseased air even in the Orchard - an underground bunker where they live in constant fear of an Occupant attack.
The ALLMOTHER lives in her own compound on the front line of the war with the Occupants. All Sisters dream of one day being able to take the train and join her in the fight.
And you - the new Watcher.
Your role is unique. You have the great privilege of reliving and interpreting the memories of the ALLMOTHER through a process known as Communion, made possible by Secretary, your floating AI companion.
As the game begins, you are excited to embark on your first Communion.
But all is not well.
Your closest sister, Fixer, comes to you with a dangerous revelation. You have been lied to. The ALLMOTHER is not what she claims to be.
Fixer’s claims rock the foundations of your world, throwing everything you know and believe into doubt.
After Fixer is executed for her treason, it falls to you to discover the truth.
Dive into the memories of the ALLMOTHER.
Explore pivotal moments in her life from high school days and the arrival of the Occupants to the creation of the Orchard and the birth of the first sisters.
Jump back and forth through moments in time within these memories to solve puzzles and access locked off areas and secrets.
In between Communions, explore the Orchard - a large underground hub area which houses you and your sisters, has many characters to speak to, and holds many things to uncover.
Find the truth and reclaim your legacy.
Experience perspective shifts both literal and metaphorical as the game blends between 3rd person adventure, visual novel and first person walking simulator while throwing twists, turns and revelations at you until you question everything you think you know.
Born from an eclectic set of inspirations, including the games of Yoko Taro (NieR:Automata), the anime of Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue) and Naoko Yamada (A Silent Voice), and even the theatre of Robert Wilson (Einstein on the Beach), 1000xRESIST tells a story in ways only a game can while simultaneously bringing fresh ideas to interactive storytelling from theatre, dance, performance art, and cinema.
Enjoy more than 10 hours of playtime brought to life with over 15,000 lines of fully voiced dialogue from a brilliant cast of Asian-Canadian actors and an incredible soundtrack from two composers.

Beautiful and well crafted / a bit short
I found the story to be quite engaging and the art, music and sound design top notch. Was a bit shocked that I completed the game so quickly but that being said the story flowed nicely but I found the lack of control customization slightly challenging at first but quickly got used to them after the first hour.

It's Okay
I'll start by noting that none of my issues with this game are on account of the story, which is good and I imagine would hit quite a bit harder for some people than it did for me. Overall, I liked the story. But pretty muich everything else is either lacking or outright frustrating to deal with. Not to question the devs, but I wonder why this wasn't just a visual novel. I would have lliked it a great deal more if I weren't being constantly pulled away from the story by cumbersome navigation or a truly atrocious node-based flying mechanic(I don't recall what they referred to it as in-game.) Slight spolier, but the mid-point fake credits do a piss-poor job of directing you back to the game. I set it down for a day and started it back up on a whim, because I had seen a review mention a "choice" that mattered and I assumed I had failed to realize the importance of something I had done and was hoping I had a save that could help me figure out where this "choice" was, not even realizing there was any game left to play. If I hadn't been skimming reviews(thankfully nothing significant was spoiled) I thought I was done with this game at around the halfway point. Maybe I just missed something obviously "fake" abot the credits, but I definitelly thought the game was over with a fairly ambiguous ending that seemed out of place and made me wonder why such a big deal was made of this game by some. Overall, it was fine, it's good, it left an impression, but to me it fell well short of it's potential by trying to do too much mechanicaly when It could have just focused on keeping story-centered.

Incredibly Meaningful and Wondurous
A deep and layered narrative that uses the medium incredibly well. I'd say the influences they list are reason enough to to give it a try.

A sophisticated story
I always know this was a low-budget production, but it exceeds my expectations. The story is interesting and captivating, and the acting is with full emotion. Another surprise is that it features tons of references to Hong Kong's umbrella movement, and most actors speaks both English and Cantonese well. It feels home to me. I'm glad to be able to support a business by those fine people.
