June 3rd, 2025 – Aliens in disguise and gas station chaos come together in the newly revealed Roadside Research, a new co-op simulator from developer Cybernetic Walrus and publisher Oro Interactive, the teams behind Order 13. Roadside Research is set to launch on Steam later this year, and to celebrate, a brand-new trailer has just landed.
Watch the official reveal trailer on YouTube for a first look at Roadside Research:
Roadside Research is a 1–4 player co-op simulator where you and your friends play as aliens working undercover at a human gas station. Your mission is to blend in, act natural, and gather as much intel as possible without raising suspicion. You’ll refuel cars, restock shelves, and keep the station running like true pros. Players will have to manage two areas to upgrade while playing: the gas station itself to gather and satisfy customers, and the hidden alien research station to prepare for the invasion.
But don’t get careless: your “suspicion meter” tracks how much attention you’re drawing to yourself. Use scanning devices, stealth, and other various techniques to gather intel. Push your luck too far, and government officials will come knocking at your door. When the station closes, take time to upgrade its interior and exterior, making sure everything runs smoothly as you prepare for the invasion ahead.
Key Features
- Chaotic solo or co-op fun: Gather friends or play alone to manage the gas station while pursuing your alien mission.
- Dual Upgrade Path: Manage upgrades for your gas station and for your alien technology at the same time.
- Satisfying Simulation: Clean, cook, and stock your workplace with all necessary supplies and items to make sure every customer leaves satisfied.
- Alien Deception: Make sure to stay disguised and don’t get caught by human government officials. If you are too suspicious, they will turn you into goo.
