If you were a teacher, and you gave an assignment to make a game that parodies vintage Cold War-era UFO sci-fi, and that kid who always sits in the back and sleeps waited until the night before it was due to start working on it and then handed it in anyway, this is probably what you'd get. I don't think I've ever seen such a total disconnect between concept and execution. As premises go this is slow-pitch 16-inch softball. It's overflowing with so much potential that it should be almost impossible to mess it up entirely. You could exploit an encyclopedia's worth of UFO mythology, from Anal Probes to X-Files (I can't think of a Y or Z, but I'm sure they're out there, too). There's the Fallout-style nuclear theme. Horror movie cliches. Cold War social satire. An oddball cast of characters that you encounter way out the the smaller-than-small towns of the western US desert as you try to make your way home. We get practically none of that; at least, nothing that works. It's like the scene in Pulp Fiction where the guy empties an entire handgun at point-blank range and every shot misses. To give you one example, imagine creating a town in such a setting, and of all the things you could choose to do with it, you make its interactive centerpiece a carnival-style basketball game that you must complete in order to progress. The whole game feels like a rough outline filled with placeholders, with no genuine content anywhere to bring it to life. Worst of all for a parody, it's simply not funny. D-minus. See me after class. I can picture the argument: "Look, you said we had to have characters, dialogue, multiple zones, vehicles, interactive puzzles and a physics system. Technically it's all in there!" Technically. They should have just said their dog ate it.

Truly an exciting journey from start to finish. Watch out for snakes! the game opens with you, the protagonist, on your way to claim your late uncle's farm. The game took me by surprise with its ground breaking vehicle controls, breakneck atomic cola speeds and anti communist propaganda. Throughout the game you'll encounter puzzles requiring split-second decision makinga that could mean the difference between life nd death. The best example of this is the prison scene, which i wont spoil. While playing you'll discover tidbits of lore scattered about. News articles that still contain grammar underlines from word that tell you the what, why, and where of the story. In my final hours, nay, minutes of this wonderful nugget of a horror game i was at the edge of my DXRacer gaming chair™ and truly felt solemn as i watched it all unfold. With memorable characters like ball game man, your uncle and landlord man it will be hard to forget this gem of an indie game. Watch out TensionSplice games, say no to the EA contract that awaits you after this game catches on to the masses! TL;DR : For the low low price of 770.50 Zimbabwean funbucks this game is truly a steal. Grab it now before they catch on to the bargain and race it to the usual triple A price! I myself have about three dozen copies in my inventory for just this occasion, and i'm willing to sell them for only 20$ each.
Watch out for snakes! Made in the tradition of schlocky sci-fi/monster movies of the Drive-in era, this game is a delightful action/adventure romp. A simple trip to your uncles property leads you to a conspiracy by a mad doctor to turn the populace into mutant beast men in an attempt to combat the dreaded Saucer People, all framed in the dread-inducing "terror-rama vision"! The gameplay is first person but plays like an old school graphic adventure game, collecting items and solving puzzles as the story unfolds. Alternate endings and easter eggs abound, plenty of Red Scare flavour helps to set the tone of the atmosphere as well. And once again, I cannot stress this enough, watch out for snakes.
I really enjoyed this game. It has a very science fiction B movie type feeling. So if you're a fan of 1970's style creature features this game is for you. Also I like how every area has an objective that needs to be met. This is not a super long game it can be played to completion in an hour or less, but for the game price I feel that it is good quality. All in all I was very happy with this game and look forward to more games by this dev in the future.
I gave up after falling through the map and getting stuck in the environment three times. Looks like a nice idea and game, but it's just too unpolished to keep restarting and playing.
A fitting tribute to schlocky B-Movies about Aliens. Explore a reasonably large world and talk to people to solve puzzles. I wish the game were a bit more polished but I get that it is targeted at schlock. A pretty great little game. https://youtu.be/imXeQCq8tX4
