Project First Contact is essentially a game about an alien invasion. In its world, however, alien species cause people to hallucinate, blurring the line between reality and imagination. This concept is reflected in the gameplay, with distorted visuals and moments where the protagonist gets spatial agnosia. For the most part, though, the experience revolves around walking from point A to point B while avoiding hostile extraterrestrial creatures.
