Roadside Research

Roadside Research is a 1–4 player co-op gas station simulator with a twist: you’re not human at all. Disguised with nothing more than a paper mask and a polo shirt, you and your fellow aliens must keep your roadside business running smoothly. You stock shelves, fuel cars, clean up, and serve customers who are a little too observant for comfort.

But this isn’t just about pumping gas. Every interaction is research. Gather DNA samples, experiment with strange alien tech, and unlock bizarre gadgets by combining everyday human items with your otherworldly knowledge. The more you learn, the closer you get to preparing the grand invasion.

Work together—or create chaos. Manage your store efficiently, or trip over each other while “accidentally” probing your friends. Expand the station, unlock new tools, and keep suspicion low. Humans might tolerate slow service, but alien slime on the floor or a poorly hidden gadget? That’s how agents start knocking on your door.

Chaotic, tactile, and endlessly replayable, Roadside Research blends everyday simulation with slapstick alien mischief. Keep the business afloat, keep your cover intact, and above all… don’t get caught.
