Its a very good game but i have a improvement idea. The game would be 10x times better if u could buy staff and the staff would be aliens too that would make the game much better hope the developers see this and look forward to add this feature 👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

fun game with potential, but right now it feels less about the aliens and research then it does another gas station sim with very very little content. after about 2 hours i already forgot i was even an alien. I really hope to see the devs expand on being an alien outside of just getting a bit more research. and find some way to make the suspicion meter and research a little more interactive.

I have mixed feelings, it's very fun with friends but very difficult single-player. Automation of some sort needs to be added, self-serve gas pumps and self checkout maybe? It also gets more difficult as the game goes on, adding more gas pumps just means more customers. Good time with 4 people but 2 players is a struggle and singleplayer is impossible

Having fun so far. Would be nice if AI aliens could be hired in single player to run the register or gas
