Description
Space aliens are infiltrating the U.S. from a sleepy little town on the
Texas/Mexico border, snatching bodies and paving the way for a greater
invasion. Those they abduct return as Pod People-like drones, normal in
appearance until they reveal themselves. The government's response is
you - a technician driving custom-built gun cameras mounted around the
town. Similar to Night Trap or Double Switch, you must monitor the town
for alien activity, and respond to protect the lives of the citizens
and your agents.
The game is played entirely through four camera
feeds from locations around the town. They mostly show loops of banal
activity, but indicators will alert you when important action is
occurring at that location. Switching to that camera will allow you to
watch crucial plot clips, or defend that camera from aliens in a
single-screen shooting gallery. As cameras take more damage, the
picture from that feed degrades until the camera itself is destroyed.
The
goal is pretty much to juggle between cameras so as not to miss an
important plot point, while defending them from attackers or saving
citizens from being abducted. In a neat twist, citizens who you failed
to save may appear later as disguised aliens themselves.
As the
game progresses, the invasion increases and becomes more violent, but
the basic concept of switching between cameras and engaging in video
shooting galleries remains unchanged.
