This is a free-to-play early access game blending action, simulation, and RPG elements with casual and multiplayer interactions.

What players say

Players say it is a supermarket simulator with an alien theme, best played with friends. Solo play feels tedious and repetitive, while co-op has performance issues the developer blames on user specs. The alien mechanics feel underdeveloped, and the gameplay loop stays the same from start to finish.
