About this game
Everyone knows that Area 51 is for real and that aliens have infiltrated the populace of Roswell. An FBI agent, devoted to uncovering the truth, is trying to discover the identity of these aliens as townsfolk are abducted during the night and taken to the mother ship. During the day, the Roswellians meet, discuss, make accusations, and then send someone off to Area 51 to be "examined." Yeah, these people are a suspicious bunch ... but they're right! They know they've been invaded by aliens and Area 51 is going to help them sort things out.
