Alien Revival

Alien Revival is an episodic action game. In Episode 1: Duty Calls, you play a lone government agent in a society breaking down amid health scares and terrorist attacks. Citizens have defied the law and armed themselves, and a curfew makes anyone you encounter a suspect and a potential target. You collect documents, valuable items, cash, ammunition and health packs, and eliminate opposition.

Episode 1: Duty Calls

As you progress, you collect experience, cash, artefacts, documents and components. These carry over to later episodes, where they help uncover and expose conspiracies and contribute to developing and acquiring new technologies. You also earn achievement badges.

The series story

In Episodes 1 and 2, you begin as a government agent and gradually discover that things are not as they seem. A viral outbreak is turning people into brainless killing machines, and rumours suggest the virus is part of a government conspiracy. At first, you work for the government to fight the growing number of rebels.

In Episodes 3 and 4, you learn the truth and join the rebels. Before you can make much headway against the conspiracy, you become infected and must search for a cure. During that search, you discover that the rebels are a setup and serve as a front for the government conspiracy.

In Episode 5, you go alone to uncover the real truth behind the conspiracy and make a final stand to defend the planet and its crumbling society. Episode 6 takes you around the globe, across alternate dimensions and through time. You discover that the government asked aliens to create the infection to reduce Earth's population to a more manageable level, and that the aliens agreed without understanding its effects. The series' possible final twist is that the aliens were innocent, had been living beneath the ocean—perhaps in the Bermuda Triangle or Atlantis—and were watching humanity while waiting for the right time to return to the surface.
