you want Alien-style sci-fi horror with workers, not heroes
your group enjoys stress building into panic that can wreck a plan
you want short scenarios for one-shots and mini-campaigns

Skip it if

you want space opera with heroic crews and big battles
your players hate losing control of their character to a panic roll

What ALIEN RPG is

Year Zero sci-fi horror RPG

The official RPG set in the Alien universe. Year Zero Engine with a unique stress mechanic: the more you panic, the more dice you roll. More dice = higher chance of success, BUT also higher chance of a panic attack. Two modes: campaign (long-form space game) and cinematic (one-shot horror, just like the movies).
