On July 8, 1947, the supposed crash of a ship from another planet in Roswell, New Mexico, changed the perception of millions of people about life outside Earth.

It was on a ranch in Corona, New Mexico, where, according to the words of Lieutenant Walter Haut (then a spokesman for the local military base), the Air Force had recovered a crashed flying saucer in Roswell. The statements given to a local newspaper went around the world. US government sources indicated that it was a flying object developed by it.

Although it has been denied many times that it was an extraterrestrial object, for many there are still unknowns. And recent series such as “The Secret X Files” (X-Files), have linked Roswell with interplanetary beings in the popular imagination.

After landing unsuccessfully on planet Earth, the military have captured this friendly alien. In this game, our character is an alien who has been captured by the army and must escape from a top secret prison, locating food on the screens in order to survive and escape from the military who control the Roswell prison in order to return to his homeland. origin, in the style of the remembered E.T.
