Escape from Area 51

About the Game

Escape from Area 51 is a story-driven sci-fi detective puzzle game with elements of stealth and shapeshifting.

You find yourself inside a secret military base at the moment chaos begins to unfold. Your only chance to escape is to explore Area 51, read the minds of its personnel, change identities, and gradually unravel a conspiracy connected to your father’s disappearance.

The game focuses not on action, but on observation, analysis, choice, and atmospheric storytelling, where every decision can open a new path-or lead you into danger.

• 🔍 Investigate what is happening on the base by collecting fragments of the truth

• 🧠 Read minds of the personnel and use the information to progress

• 🎭 Change identities, gaining access to new areas and dialogues

• 🗣 Engage in dialogues that depend on who you currently are

• 🚪 Search for alternative routes: ventilation shafts, service corridors, laboratories

• 🧩 Solve puzzles directly woven into the narrative

• 🏃 Try to survive by avoiding agents, soldiers, and special forces

The game features multiple forms, and each comes with its own abilities and limitations:

• Alien
  - can read minds
  - is perceived as a threat
  - can be detected instantly

• Child
  - can crawl through tight spaces and ventilation shafts
  - unnoticed in some areas, but extremely vulnerable in others

• Base Personnel
  - access to restricted areas
  - unique dialogues and NPC reactions
  - different social opportunities

❗ People react to you differently depending on your form.
What a scientist will say to another scientist will never be said to a soldier.

• base personnel, if your identity is exposed

• government agents

• forces that should never see you as either a child or an alien

You are accompanied by EVA, an electronic assistant who:

• provides contextual hints

• helps you navigate the base

• highlights possible paths

But… she doesn’t know everything.
Or perhaps she doesn’t tell you everything.

• 🧬 Hybrid genre: sci-fi / detective / puzzle / stealth

• 🧠 Mind reading as a core gameplay mechanic

• 🎭 Shapeshifting with unique progression logic

• 🗣 Dialogues that depend on your current form

• 🧩 Story-integrated puzzles

• 🎬 Cinematic cutscenes

• 🎵 Minimalistic, tense atmosphere

• 🔚 Multiple endings based on your decisions

• ⏱ Estimated playtime: 4.5–6 hours
