PS5
The Alters platinum depends on the people Jan creates and his decisions, not survival alone. Track Alter stories, learned lessons, treatments and endings separately. An efficient base leaves time for conversations, while a successful escape does not prove every relationship is finished. Organise saves around branching choices; this roadmap concerns the base campaign rather than automatically adding expansion objectives.
Base-game roadmap for PS5. Individual stack requirements remain available on the game page.
- Required difficulty: The base list does not require a specific high difficulty.
- Missable trophies: Choices and crew composition can close stories, lessons and endings.
- Online: The campaign is offline single player.
Leave time for conversations in your daily routine
Check personal requests, missing supplies and outdoor risks before assigning the entire day to mining. Blocked production or an unstaffed module can consume hours needed for a conversation. Assign suitable work and return with a plan: having enough food for tomorrow is not a reason to indefinitely postpone an important crew interaction.
- Check personal requests before rushing the daily schedule.
Track each version of Jan individually
Creating an Alter only begins his route. Record creation, personal storyline completion, receipt of a personal item and the lesson learned. Those four columns separate All by myselves from Jan Complete. Do not assume any conversation grants a lesson; inspect the progression summary and personal mission outcome before moving to another character.
- Separate creation, story, item and lesson for each Alter.
Preserve branch points before choosing treatment
Implants and experimental therapy represent different responses to the crew crisis. Preserve available saves before choosing and record the characters and goals already prepared. Do not expect to see both branches by talking again after the decision: use an earlier point or another playthrough. Botanist routes also need planning separate from Jan’s ordinary endings.
- Record the treatment choice and keep a pre-branch save.
Plan modules and arks around actual resources
Expanding capacity is not the same as building every module type. Audit unbuilt rooms. Rapidium ark objectives extend to the fifth ark, so check materials, space and production before the final stage instead of building only the minimum needed to advance. Reserve the next project’s resources without undermining survival or the crew’s ability to work.
- Compare module types, capacity and materials reserved for five arks.
Finish branches without confusing patch issues with requirements
Check earned trophies after each route before deleting its saves. Lesson tracking has received bug reports, so keep the game updated and preserve the lesson summary if Jan Complete fails after meeting its conditions. Do not treat DLC missions as a universal workaround. Restart alternate endings at their required decisions and track finished variants and unfinished characters.
- Verify recorded lessons before discarding branch saves.

Frequently asked questions
Does a successful escape finish every story?
No. Personal stories, lessons and endings have separate conditions. Track each Alter rather than using the Act 3 ending as proof of completion.
Can I ignore gifts after learning every lesson?
No. Not Just An Object requires a personal item for each Alter; that is separate from lessons and personal storyline completion.
Is Last Variable required for the base platinum?
Keep base-game and additional groups separate. This route covers Jan’s campaign rather than automatically extending requirements to Deluxe expansion content.
