Steam Store description

2026 Roadmap for Early Access About the Game Aliens have landed on Earth… to run a gas station. Play solo or up to 4 players and do human tasks to blend in.

Features 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, co…
