The indie sci-fi adventure 1000xResist had a surprising resurgence on New Year’s Day, recording its highest sales day ever, seven months after its release on May 9, 2024. Developer Sunset Visitor shared the milestone on Bluesky, expressing gratitude to everyone who recommended or supported the game. The publisher behind this game is Fellow Traveller.
The recent sales spike appears to be driven by several factors, including positive word-of-mouth, listings on multiple “Game of the Year” charts, and a recent collaboration with the popular roguelike Balatro. Interestingly, Sunset Visitor suggested that 1000xResist’s absence from The Game Awards may have heightened interest, as fans outraged by the omission have passionately discussed the game’s merits, reigniting conversations around it.
The game’s appeal lies in its thought-provoking and emotional story set 1,000 years in the future. Through a dystopian lens, it tackles themes like generational trauma, immigrant experiences, and state violence. Inspired partly by the 2019 Hong Kong protests, its raw and specific narrative resonates deeply with players. Reviews on Steam have been overwhelmingly positive, with 97% of users giving it a thumbs up.
We adored this game upon its release and published a review stating that “If you’re interested in a game that challenges you to think deeply about identity, society, and the human condition, 1000xResist is a must-play”.
