About Roadside Research
Roadside Research is a gas station management game for solo play or co-op with up to four players. You are an alien on Earth, posing as a gas station employee while conducting research on human customers. By day, you run the station; at night, you can gather your thoughts and plan for the next day.
Run the gas station
Restock shelves, order goods, refuel passing customers and exchange goods for cash. You also clean and cook, keeping the station supplied and serving travelers. During closing hours, you can upgrade the station inside and out to attract more customers.
Research humans
While customers stop at the station, scan, steal from and test different methods on them to gather data without their knowledge. Keep an eye on the suspicion meter: if it rises too high, government officials will visit. If you are too suspicious, they will turn you into goo.
Upgrade and blend in
You manage two upgrade paths: improvements to the gas station and alien technology that helps process data and gather information more efficiently. You can also draw a human expression on your advanced disguise to help blend in.
