Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat-led action rather than investigation and puzzle solving may bounce off the point-and-click structure.
- Those wanting a self-contained story may hit a wall when the game continues an arc from three earlier titles.
- Players who prefer realistic settings may reject the surreal tone and dark humor.
- Anyone looking for a fast, linear experience may be slowed by the operating system simulator and varied puzzles.
Our take on Alien Function
The bounce point arrives when the game shifts from ordinary ship investigation into its layered mystery structure. Players expecting a straightforward comedy adventure may stall at the unusual puzzles, the simulated operating system, or the continuing story from three earlier games.
What is Alien Function?
Alien Function is a surreal comedy adventure set aboard an enigmatic starship.
Typhil, who works as a dirt regulator, investigates strange events with his companions and confronts aliens, killer robots, and questions about his identity and the crew’s mission. Progress follows a mystery centered on the ship, its inhabitants, and the characters’ lives. Gameplay uses a third-person point-and-click format with traditional adventure puzzles alongside less conventional puzzle types. The game includes professional voice acting and a functional operating system simulator. It continues an overarching story from three earlier games in the series, while also connecting to a sequel.
