Roadside Research - Early Access

If you want to run a gas station with a secret, this game is for you. By day you work the counter like any employee: restock shelves, fuel up passing cars, swap goods for cash. At night you plan the next day, and that part is a lot of fun. The mood is light and a bit absurd, but there is real strategy under it. The highlights: - The first hours go to learning the station's routine and figuring out what visitors actually want. - Play solo or with up to three friends, and the co-op chaos gets even funnier. - Two upgrade paths run side by side, and picking what to improve first is a good headache. - Staying unnoticed is harder than it looks: too much curiosity brings the wrong attention fast. You get a Steam activation key for the Global region, shown on the order page right after payment. You can buy the Roadside Research - Early Access key Global right here on the site and activate it in your Steam account. Aliens have landed on Earth… to run a gas station. Play solo or up to 4 players and do human tasks to blend in. People depend on you, it’s your job to make sure that the shelves have the correct items, refuel customers passing by, and provide food for travelers. But most importantly, you must conduct your research. Stay Undetected Your mission is simple. Gather all data you can from humans without their knowledge. Scan, steal, and test various methods on customers while they stop by the gas station. Be careful not to raise the “suspicion meter” too high, as that will trigger the visit of government officials. Be Normal, Be Human During the day, take care of the gas station as an ordinary employee. Restock the shelves, order wares for the shop, refuel passersby, and exchange goods for cash. At night you will be able to gather your thoughts, and plan for the next day. Upgrade and Customize Balance between two missions, upgrading the gas station to attract more customers and upgrading your alien tech to process data and gather information more efficiently. To blend in, draw a very normal human expression on your state-of-the-art disguise. During closing hours, you can also upgrade the station, inside and outside to make sure everything is going according to plan. 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, cook, and stock your workplace with all necessary supplies and items to make sure every customer leaves satisfied. - Alien Deception: Make sure to stay disguised and don’t get caught by human government officials. If you are too suspicious, they will turn you into goo.
