Outpost 9 1.0

Outpost 9 Alpha Demo is a creepy text based horror game set on a space station and seems to be very much inspired by the Alien movies, there is unsurprisingly an alien or monster that has infiltrated your space station and already killed one of your colleagues.

You play as Captain Omaha who is sent out of the secure room that you and your crew are hunkered down in, to go and forage for supplies and try to avoid the alien monster that is somewhere lurking in your space station, it’s a good idea to have the volume audible as you will hear a constant beeping that will become more rapid as the monster draws closer and will give you a chance to try to run to a different area of the space station before you get torn apart by the monster.

The game is all text based but you don’t have to type anything in you are just given a series of options to choose from such as which areas or items to inspect, you don’t see much of what is going and have to use your imagination as to what exactly is happening but the green and basic screen adds to the authenticity and creepiness of Outpost 9.

The demo only takes around 10 minutes to complete but shows a lot of promise, you can download the Outpost 9 demo here for free.
