Oh, Those Alien Lifeforms!

You‘re a Sci-Fi Scientist exploring new lands. Your mission is to send Reports back to the Mother Ship. Collect Samples from each new land in order to create a story about what the aliens are up to and include this in your Mission Report. Make sure to follow the Prime Directive which changes with each new land you explore.

What makes this game different from other story telling games is that by exploring alien life forms you may find that you share so much in common, and this helps build connections. As neurodivergent creators we have sometimes felt as if we were either aliens ourselves or as if we were observing an alien society. We created Oh, Those Alien Lifeforms! as a loving and fun play on our shared experience.

Alien Lifeforms! expowers the players by providing various ways to play the game. Players can choose from two ways to play, depending on the experience they prefer at that time. This removes any player pressure or burden that may be present in games of this nature.

Players can choose to play Casually by telling a collective story from the samples. They may also play Competitively by taking turns being Captain and awarding points for their favorite story. Awarding points encourages engagement and creativity that can help even the most introverted of us come out of their shell and get into the fun.
