Elroy and the Aliens makes contact with Steam Next Fest 

Launching on Steam on April 2nd, 90s-inspired Elroy and the Aliens is a modern point-and-click adventure puzzler that will feature in this month’s Steam Next Fest!

Maribor, Slovenia, February 6th, 2025 – Fire up your rockets and journey back to the golden age of adventure gaming; Elroy and the Aliens launches on April 2nd, and will be part of this month’s Steam Next Fest.

Travel back in time to 1993 in the live demo and meet Elroy, a passionate but chaotic rocket engineer who teams up with the daring reporter Peggie to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his father. Their search for the truth will launch them on an unforgettable intergalactic adventure spanning 60 locales to explore across two sprawling planets.  

Puzzles, peculiar aliens, and ancient legends await on Elroy’s path, with a tale of love, loss, and regret presented in a 90s-era cartoon style inspired by LucasArts and Sierra games. You’ll meet an eclectic cast of human (and non-human) locals to befriend as Elroy and Peggie begin to unravel an ancient archaeological mystery…

In a tale with exploration, discovery, and friendship at its core, players will uncover more than what happened to Elroy’s father, especially when faced with the troubled mayor’s dangerous galaxy-changing plans!

If you’re ready to embark on this cosmic quest, Elroy and the Aliens’ demo is playable for free ahead of Steam Next Fest. A small slice of this soon-to-launch epic sci-fi adventure that has been lovingly crafted across the span of the last decade offers up a strong serving of discovery, friendship, and exploration, ready for players seeking a story-rich epic of world-saving proportions.
