Alien Incident

About

In this point-and-click adventure set on a spooky Halloween night, you play as Benjamin tasked with saving his uncle from alien kidnappers. The story unfolds in a creaky mansion where a botched science experiment opened a wormhole, drawing a fleeing alien craft to Earth. You’ll navigate quirky environments, solve puzzles, and avoid four curious extraterrestrials to uncover secrets and restore order. Gameplay mixes exploration with timed actions, requiring quick thinking to outwit the aliens and piece together the chaos. Released in 1996, Alien Incident stands out as an early DOS title from Housemarque, the studio later known for Xenon 2 and Resorcerer. While its pixelated visuals and straightforward mechanics feel dated, fans of classic point-and-clicks might appreciate the brisk pacing and lighthearted sci-fi mystery. The game’s short runtime and family-friendly tone make it a niche curiosity, offering a glimpse at the developer’s early work before they gained fame in the arcade revival scene.
