Roadside Research is a 1 to 4 player co-op gas station simulator. Except you’re aliens. And undercover. Do very human things like restocking shelves while preparing for the invasion. Just don’t get caught.

Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 5.43/day in the week to Aug 13 → 13.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Aliens have landed on Earth… to run a gas station. Play solo or up to 4 players and do human tasks to blend in. People depend on you, it’s your job to make sure that the shelves have the correct items, refuel customers passing by, and provide food for travelers. But most importantly, you must conduct your research.
Your mission is simple. Gather all data you can from humans without their knowledge. Scan, steal, and test various methods on customers while they stop by the gas station. Be careful not to raise the “suspicion meter” too high, as that will trigger the visit of government officials.
During the day, take care of the gas station as an ordinary employee. Restock the shelves, order wares for the shop, refuel passersby, and exchange goods for cash. At night you will be able to gather your thoughts, and plan for the next day.
Balance between two missions, upgrading the gas station to attract more customers and upgrading your alien tech to process data and gather information more efficiently. To blend in, draw a very normal human expression on your state-of-the-art disguise.
During closing hours, you can also upgrade the station, inside and outside to make sure everything is going according to plan.
Chaotic solo or co-op fun: Gather friends or play alone to manage the gas station while pursuing your alien mission.
Dual Upgrade Path: Manage upgrades for your gas station and for your alien technology at the same time
Satisfying Simulation: Clean, cook, and stock your workplace with all necessary supplies and items to make sure every customer leaves satisfied.
Alien Deception: Make sure to stay disguised and don’t get caught by human government officials. If you are too suspicious, they will turn you into goo.

игре уже больше полугода и так не смогли починить кооп, хотя 99% процент игроков покупают эту игру только ради этого я разочарована, разрабы г о м о с е к и
I'm addicted to this game LOL The mini games to prove you're human are hilarious. Blink, breathe, and fart. I miss more than I win, but that's user error. This game was pretty buggy when it first came out. I couldn't get the video settings just right. It gave me a migraine. I think there are still issues with in game chat. My friends and I have tried on different occasions to use it, but then we use Discord instead. FART needs to be changed so it stocks the product in the green trays. I keep having to watch for empty or nearly empty boxes and swap out the green trays. I'm looking forward to unlocking probing and abductions. Please don't cancel me for saying that! It's in the game! LOL

可以想象多人模式肯定很好玩 可惜我朋友都不玩游戏 单人就算了吧
bilio bleeop blpa bop biep
jogo bom porem falta as conquistas na steam para ficar melhor ainda
Très bon jeu dans l'ensemble avec une roadmap qui promet. Cependant, depuis la mise a jour de juillet, certains cients pour le carburants buggés quand la distribution automatique est activé (pompe 3 et 4 uniquement). Si vous rencontrez ce problème quitter sans sauvegarder suffira.
Игра хорошая, я бы сказал не хорошая, а просто играбельная. Я здесь написал плюсы и минусы этой игрушки: Плюсы: - Игра как фильм "Люди в черном" только мы за пришельцев - Игра не наскучивает после 2 часов, так как есть удобная и понятная система прогресса - Есть Русский язык - Оптимизированная под любую картошку Минусы: - Стоит относительно дорого, хотелось бы менее едкий ценник, например в 345 рублей. - ОЧЕНЬ много багов, баги анимации тут не сосчитать, вот примеры некоторых багов с которыми я столкнулся: У меня исчезли из виду руки, и я не мог поднимать предметы Лагают ценники на товар, когда я поднимал \ опускал цены на бензин, ценник оставался тем же. Не отображался прыжок, у моего друга все ок, а у меня текстуры при прыжке просто либо слетали, либо игра зависала на 2 секунды. Комментарий к игре: - Надо все же учитывать что игра в раннем доступе, и разрабы ее допилят примерно (я надеюсь) через месяцок, другой. Игру пока что советую.
