Alien Extraction

About

Alien Extraction casts you as Lenny, a janitor trapped on a space station overrun by aliens. Your job isn’t to fight them directly but to manipulate the environment to survive. Sneak through vents, set traps, sabotage systems, and use whatever tools you can find to outwit the creatures. The game blends puzzle solving with real time strategy as you juggle tasks like monitoring cameras, piloting drones, and managing facility systems from a fixed security desk. The VR version lets you physically reach for objects and scan rooms with a handheld device while the PC version keeps the same tight controls with mouse and keyboard. The game’s charm comes from its playful tone and clever use of limited resources. Players praise the VR immersion and the satisfaction of chaining together distractions and diversions to clear paths. With a 4.2 out of 5 on Steam and 8 out of 10 on Metacritic, fans highlight the creativity required to solve each level. The fixed desk camera perspective creates a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere that contrasts with the absurdity of a janitor using a flamethrower to keep aliens at bay. The challenge lies in learning what each tool can do and when to use it before the station becomes an alien buffet.
