Set in a control room, the player’s aim is to guide four crew members through a Weyland-Yutani research station by directing them through the station and away from the Xenomorph roaming its corridors.
Occasionally the Xenomorph will come to Amanda’s control room, meaning the player has to cut power to the room and seal the door (similar to Five Nights at Freddy’s).
