Roadside Research - Undercover Aliens run a Gas Station

Get a first look at the reveal trailer for Roadside Research, a multiplayer co-op gas station simulator set in the middle of nowhere USA. You and your friends play as aliens in disguise, trying to blend in with the locals, pump gas, stock shelves, and keep customers happy… while quietly preparing for a full-scale invasion.

Roadside Research is set to release on Steam this year.

Manage the gas station without raising a single eyebrow, all while gathering data on humans and upgrading your alien tech. But watch out! Get too suspicious, and government agents might show up.

Roadside Research is a 1-4 player co-op simulator where you and your friends play as aliens working undercover at a human gas station. Your mission is to blend in, act natural, and gather as much intel as possible without raising suspicion. You’ll refuel cars, restock shelves, and keep the station running like true pros. Players will have to manage two areas to upgrade while playing: the gas station itself to gather and satisfy customers, and the hidden alien research station to prepare for the invasion.

But don’t get careless: your “suspicion meter” tracks how much attention you’re drawing to yourself. Use scanning devices, stealth, and other various techniques to gather intel. Push your luck too far, and government officials will come knocking at your door. When the station closes, take time to upgrade its interior and exterior, making sure everything runs smoothly as you prepare for the invasion ahead.

What Players Can Expect:

  • Balancing gas station duties with stealthy alien intel gathering

  • Dual progression systems: upgrade your gas station and your alien tech simultaneously

  • Avoid suspicion or risk exposure by government agents
