All it took was one look at a disgustingly awesome gif and I knew right away that Astrocreep by Suits n’ Nukes had to be one of the most intriguing games that I’d never played. And so, I did the next most obvious thing:
I played it.
That’s right. Go ahead and make a beeline to Game Jolt where you can download Astrocreep for Windows or simply play the flash version directly in your browser. Gloriously. Why gloriously? Because watching space humans (aka astronauts) getting dissolved by little green aliens is exactly that. Glorious.
Playing the villain, and loving it
But that’s not all because there is actually a point to Astrocreep. In Astrocreep, you play the role of the villain, aka, the alien, aka a pretty disgusting looking slug, and your mission is to infect the humans and thereby infest the entire space station. Overall, the whole game may take you about 15 minutes to complete once you make it through a few puzzles and scenarios, but oh the fun you’ll have! You also have a few choices to make and these choices will determine just how your parasitic alien is going to evolve. Will you take the acidic evolutionary branch? Or are you leaning more towards the telekinetic thing, which is equally creepy on a whole other level. The choice is all yours.
So, without giving anything away, just go ahead and play it.
