Players take asymmetric roles: one controls an Alien in hiding while the others act as Agents trying to locate and capture it. The Alien moves secretly on a hidden map, performs a mission objective and manipulates evidence to avoid detection. Agents deploy detection arrays, collect deduction tokens and share information to narrow down the Alien’s possible locations. Play revolves around deduction, hidden movement and coordinated actions; the Agents capture the Alien by ending a turn on its tile, while the Alien wins by completing its mission or eluding capture until extraction. Multiple scenarios (Secret Files) change objectives and setup for varied replayability.
