Overview
Description

Set during a typical Halloween eve, Alien Incident follows a young boy named Benjamin as he witnesses his uncle activate a mysterious Worm Hole Spawner. When an alien spaceship accidentally enters the rift and its crew abducts Benjamin's uncle, it is up to the hidden boy to solve the mystery, rescue his relative, and save the galaxy. Developed by Housemarque and originally released in 1996, this comical point-and-click adventure combines classic puzzle-solving gameplay with a humorous science fiction storyline. Players must explore the spooky mansion and beyond, interacting with strange environments and uncovering bizarre secrets to succeed in their mission.

Wesley is transformed into a half‑boy, half‑creature and must navigate Dr. Drod’s sprawling mansion. With the help of Brian, a brain in a jar, he discovers that only by eating bizarre items—from cat food to furniture—can he gain the creature‑powers needed to defeat the lurking monsters. The game is a point‑and‑click adventure packed with sci‑fi comedy, masterful animation, and quirky sound design. Explore every room, click every object, and solve puzzles while avoiding a monstrous case of indigestion.
