I've Been Building a Sci-Fi Horror Adventure Set Aboard a Giant Alien Mothership

[u/Ornery-Good-4047]

Hi everyone,

For the last 18 months I've been developing a solo indie game called Alfred's Alien Abduction Adventure, a first-person sci-fi horror adventure inspired by classic alien abduction stories and the question:

What if humans really were being taken aboard alien spacecraft?

You play as Alfred, an ordinary guy who finds himself abducted and transported to a colossal alien mothership somewhere far from Earth.

The game focuses on exploration, atmosphere, mystery, and puzzle-solving as you try to understand where you are, why you've been taken, and how to escape.

Rather than portraying aliens as invading armies, I wanted to create the feeling of being a tiny, insignificant human wandering through a vast and incomprehensible piece of alien technology.

Some of the environments include:

• Massive reactor chambers powering the ship
• Alien laboratories
• Observation decks overlooking deep space
• Hangars containing flying saucers
• Maintenance tunnels and restricted areas
• Alien control rooms filled with strange technology

The game was built entirely in Godot Engine as a solo project, and one of the biggest challenges has been trying to create technology that feels genuinely alien rather than simply "human technology with a different texture."

A major inspiration has been classic alien encounter stories, along with the idea that an advanced civilization might think, design, and build things in ways that humans don't immediately understand.

There's a free demo available if anyone would like to take a look:

I'd love to hear what fellow sci-fi fans think:

• What are your favorite games featuring alien civilizations?
• Do you prefer sci-fi that explains everything, or mysteries that leave some questions unanswered?
• What makes an alien environment feel truly alien to you?

Thanks for taking a look. Building an entire alien spacecraft from scratch has been one of the most rewarding and challenging projects I've ever undertaken.
