소개
Roadside Research is a chaotic 1-4 player co-op simulator where you control undercover aliens managing a mundane Earth gas station. While restocking shelves and pumping diesel to maintain your cover, you must secretly scan customers, gather intel, and prepare the mothership for an impending invasion—all without tripping the suspicion meter of lurking government agents.
스토리
You are part of an alien crew sent to Earth to study human behavior before the big invasion. posing as minimum-wage gas station attendants, you observe the baffling habits of humanity—like their love for oddly shaped snacks and flammable liquids. The narrative unfolds through environmental storytelling and comedic interactions rather than heavy dialogue, as you try to persist against suspicious agents investigating your 'odd' business practices.
Gameplay
The core loop balances standard simulation tasks—fueling cars, cleaning bathrooms, and stocking products—with high-stakes alien espionage. Players utilize hidden tech to scan and test customers while the 'Suspicion Meter' ticks up if you're caught acting strange. It’s a juggling act of maintaining a profitable business front while conducting unauthorized research, best experienced in chaotic co-op sessions.
