1000xResist
A video game created by developer Sunset Visitor and published by Fellow Traveller Games for Windows on May 9th, 2024 and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 4th, 2025.
The player is a clone named Watcher in a post-apocalyptic far future where an alien race known as the Occupants have eradicated most of humanity through a global pandemic, leaving only a small society of clones behind. These clones worship Iris Kwan, known to them as the Allmother, as their god, as Iris is the only person in the world to be immune to the Occupants’ disease.
On the whole, the game is full of generational trauma, doomed yuri and lesbians. And it’s fucking amazing.
