Roadside Research Invades Early Access Later This Month

Alien Gas Station Attendants Invade Earth in ‘Roadside Research’ — And Their Disguise Skills Are Laughably Bad

In a world where extraterrestrial invasions have been a staple of science fiction for decades, one indie game is flipping the script on how aliens might secretly take over our planet. Enter Roadside Research, the upcoming early access title from developer Cybernetic Walrus and publisher Oro Interactive, where aliens pose as gas station attendants in what might be the most absurd and hilarious infiltration attempt ever conceived.

Set to launch into early access on February 12, Roadside Research invites players to step into the tentacles—yes, tentacles—of these bumbling extraterrestrial observers. As you’ll see in the game’s trailer, these aliens are far from stealthy. Their disguises are so flimsy that even a child could see through them. Forget blending in; these aliens don’t bother hiding their otherworldly limbs, and their “masks” are little more than paper cutouts slapped over their faces. Yet, somehow, they’re getting away with it—because the humans they’re observing are, well, not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed.

The premise is simple yet delightfully absurd: you’re an alien tasked with observing human behavior at a gas station. Your mission? Gather data, blend in (sort of), and avoid raising suspicion. But here’s the catch—humans can and will catch on if you mess up too often. Attract too much attention, and you might find yourself dealing with Agent Mulder-esque feds poking around your station, asking uncomfortable questions, and potentially blowing your cover. It’s a delicate balance of chaos and comedy, where every interaction could be your last.

The game’s humor is its standout feature. The aliens’ incompetence is both endearing and hilarious, making Roadside Research a perfect blend of stealth, strategy, and slapstick comedy. Whether you’re accidentally spilling alien goo on a customer or forgetting to hide your extra limbs, the game thrives on the absurdity of its premise. It’s a refreshing take on the alien invasion trope, proving that sometimes, the best way to conquer a planet is to make its inhabitants laugh so hard they don’t notice you’re taking over.

But don’t let the humor fool you—Roadside Research is more than just a comedy game. It’s a clever commentary on human obliviousness and the lengths to which beings (alien or otherwise) might go to study us. The game’s early access launch is just the beginning, with plans for a larger incursion force hinted at in the trailer. What starts as a single gas station could soon escalate into a full-scale alien operation, and players will be at the forefront of this intergalactic experiment.

The developers at Cybernetic Walrus have clearly poured their creativity into making Roadside Research a unique and engaging experience. The art style is vibrant and cartoonish, perfectly complementing the game’s lighthearted tone. The mechanics are intuitive, allowing players to focus on the chaos of managing a gas station while maintaining their alien cover. And with early access, the team has the opportunity to refine the game based on player feedback, ensuring that the final release is as polished and entertaining as possible.

For fans of quirky indie games, Roadside Research is shaping up to be a must-play. It’s a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, inviting players to embrace the absurdity of its premise and have a blast doing it. Whether you’re a fan of stealth games, comedy, or just looking for something different, Roadside Research promises to deliver an experience unlike anything else on the market.

So, mark your calendars for February 12 and get ready to don your paper mask, hide your tentacles, and serve gas to unsuspecting humans. The aliens are coming, and they’re bringing laughs, chaos, and a whole lot of intergalactic charm. Just remember: if the feds show up, you didn’t hear it from us.
