ABOUT ALIEN INCIDENT
In Alien Incident you play the role of Benjamin Richards. One rather
typical Halloween eve, Benjamin is witnessing his uncle's attempt to
activate the Worm Hole Spawner, his latest invention. A worm hole is
a tunnel through space that, at least theoretically, allows travel
through millions of light-years in a split second. Just when the
Worm Hole Spawner is activated, a lightning strikes the machine, but
the experiment works beyond expectations as an intensified beam of
energy fires from the Spawner and a hole in the sky rips open.
Suddenly, an Entity, chased by a spaceship, dives through the worm
hole into our galaxy. The entity enters Earth's atmosphere while the
ship slams on the brakes, and a squadron of aliens are sent to kidnap
whoever's responsible for opening the Worm Hole and letting the
entity get away. Soon, the aliens land and enter the mansion where
Ben and his uncle are recovering from the explosion. As the aliens
suddenly enter the laboratory, Ben quickly hides behind the wrecked
Worm Hole Spawner, and watches in disbelief as his uncle is
abducted and taken to the alien ship. Here's where you come in... You
direct the actions of Benjamin in his quest to save his uncle and rid
the world from this alien threat. Benjamin will face many obstacles
during his quest, and it's up to you to overcome them... Some of the
obstacles he faces are simple puzzles, some harder and demand more
work, and some being actual confrontations with aliens and other
things out of the ordinary.
If this is your first computer adventure game, be prepared for an
entertaining, exciting challenge and experience like nothing before.
Be patient even if it takes a while to figure out some of the
puzzles in the game. If you get stuck, you might need to solve
another puzzle first, or find and use an object in some way. Just
hang in there... it's very likely you'll work it out after a while.
Playing the game
WALKING AROUND
Well, it couldn't really be much simpler than this: use the mouse to
guide the mouse pointer on the screen where you want Benjamin to
walk to, and click the left mouse button. Ben will now walk to where
you clicked on the screen if there are no obstacles in his way.
PICKING UP STUFF
Always try to look for things you can pick up. When you see an
object you'd like Benjamin to pick up, click on the object in question
with the right mouse button. When you've picked up an object it will
appear in the inventory screen. For reference on how to use an
object, see "Using stuff you've collected".
Always pick up everything you can. It's likely that at some point
during the game, all those weird things you've found will serve
some purpose.
INTERACTING WITH STUFF
At various stages during the game you are required to interact with
things on the screen that you can't pick up, like doors, buttons etc.
When you need to open a door for example, just click on it with the
right mouse button and Benjamin will open the door. If the door you
want to open is locked, clicking on it makes Benjamin tell you what
he sees on the door, for example "it's locked" and stuff like that.
USING STUFF YOU'VE COLLECTED
When you've collected an item it will appear in the inventory screen.
There is no limit to the number of items Benjamin can carry. When
you've collected so many items that they don't fit in the inventory
screen at once anymore, you can browse through the inventory by
clicking on the arrows in the left side of the inventory window with
the left mouse button. To use an item, first select it from the
inventory by clicking on it with the left mouse button, and then
click on another item in the inventory or on an area on the screen
where you think it can be used on (for example, a fuse you'd like to
put in a fuse box).
You may also want to study an object you've collected. To do this,
simply click the right mouse button on top of the object you want to
have a look at.
TALKING TO OTHER CHARACTERS
At some points during the game, you come across other characters.
Some are hostile, some are friendly. To talk to another character,
click on him/her/it with the right mouse button. Sometimes you are
given an option to select a sentence from multiple choices. When
this happens, click on the sentence you'd like Benjamin to say with
the left mouse button.
-A picture of a mouse could be placed here perhaps...-
Left mouse button: Walk to/activate an item in the inventory/use
an activated item with another item
Right mouse button:Interact (use, pick up, move, push, pull, open,
close, turn on, turn off, knock, read, look at,, talk to etc.)
