Our game is Alien American. You play as an alien/ or goup of aliens who have crash-landed on American soil. To escape the clutches of the Men in Black, you have learned to blend in with the general public. So far you’ve done quite well, however certain things still haven’t quite clicked…
It’s been two years, you and your buddies have gotten busy flipping burgers, but you all feel like something is missing… This isn’t the life you dreamt of on Kepler 22B. You want something more.
