Roadside Research is a 1 to 4 player co-op gas station simulator. Except you’re aliens. And undercover. Do very human things like restocking shelves while preparing for the invasion. Just don’t get caught.

Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 5.43/day in the week to Aug 13 → 13.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Aliens have landed on Earth… to run a gas station. Play solo or up to 4 players and do human tasks to blend in. People depend on you, it’s your job to make sure that the shelves have the correct items, refuel customers passing by, and provide food for travelers. But most importantly, you must conduct your research.
Your mission is simple. Gather all data you can from humans without their knowledge. Scan, steal, and test various methods on customers while they stop by the gas station. Be careful not to raise the “suspicion meter” too high, as that will trigger the visit of government officials.
During the day, take care of the gas station as an ordinary employee. Restock the shelves, order wares for the shop, refuel passersby, and exchange goods for cash. At night you will be able to gather your thoughts, and plan for the next day.
Balance between two missions, upgrading the gas station to attract more customers and upgrading your alien tech to process data and gather information more efficiently. To blend in, draw a very normal human expression on your state-of-the-art disguise.
During closing hours, you can also upgrade the station, inside and outside to make sure everything is going according to plan.
Chaotic solo or co-op fun: Gather friends or play alone to manage the gas station while pursuing your alien mission.
Dual Upgrade Path: Manage upgrades for your gas station and for your alien technology at the same time
Satisfying Simulation: Clean, cook, and stock your workplace with all necessary supplies and items to make sure every customer leaves satisfied.
Alien Deception: Make sure to stay disguised and don’t get caught by human government officials. If you are too suspicious, they will turn you into goo.

O jogo é bem simples e, se você jogar com 4 pessoas, ele termina relativamente rápido. Por R$ 20, eu acho que vale a pena, mas ainda são R$ 20 em um jogo que tem basicamente a mesma jogabilidade de Supermarket Together, que é de graça.
The game is exceptionally funny, especially if you are playing with friends and you are trolling each others with some of the guns that you can purchase. You can pretty much do about anything you think of , as far as the game allows it 😅. ( A side note to the devs tho - there is a slight bug ( a friend told me, i did not see that myself ) if you pick up some item with a different basket / box, the item glitches and it disappears or something like that. Look into it. #Thanks.

10/10 game, it's a super fun game and it is so emotional it makes me goop all over the screen. Would recommend.
WHY IS THERE NO ENDING
muito bom abastecer os carro
good game
iki kişilik yorumumuzu katacağım gereksiz fps sorunu var bazen buglanıyor ve esc dahi basamıyorsun çok fazla çöküyor kamerayı kullanırken bazen kitleniyor sipariş verip arabaya ezdiriyoruz diğerini iki kişi olmadan çözülebilicek bir sorun değil aşırı bug sorunu var bunların dışında gerçekten eğlenceli bir oyun umarım en kısa sürede düzeltirler yüzümüze çizim yapabilme detayımız çok hoş olmuş ama çizdiklerimizi kaydedip bir kaç tane çizebilsek istediğimizde değişebilsek daha da hoş olurmuş
Alienígenas + um posto de gasolina à beira da estrada + humanos. Essa combinação simplesmente não tinha como dar errado. É uma das experiências mais caóticas e engraçadas que já joguei, seja em uma partida solo ou com amigos. O humor do jogo funciona perfeitamente e faz qualquer sessão render boas risadas. Confesso que fiquei completamente viciada. Organizar o supermercado, arrumar as prateleiras, reabastecer os produtos, comprar upgrades para a loja e decorar tudo do seu jeito é absurdamente satisfatório. Mas o melhor de tudo são os agentes. Ter que fingir o tempo todo que você é um humano já rende momentos hilários. E quando eles descobrem que você é um alienígena? A perseguição começa e vira um completo caos. O auge é quando você morre e deixa seu amigo sozinho, tentando sobreviver enquanto cinco caras de terno, que parecem ter saído diretamente de Matrix, correm atrás dele. É impossível não rir. Recomendo demais.

Dobra gra. Najbardziej spodobał mi się side quest z kosmitą Ki Shaak Ti, który przed stacją pobił klienta w kryzysie bezdomności. Niestety nie udało mi się go złapać i uciekł na Marsa unikając konsekwencji przed kosmicznym sądem.
