I am not a Monster: First Contact is a sci-fi game set aboard the Albatross, where unknown alien lizards have seized the spaceship. Captain Laser stands against the threat, while the story also asks players to uncover why the monsters appeared.
The game describes more than 30 missions and eight distinct heroes. Its tactical premise includes controlling multiple heroes at once, giving the player a team to direct as events unfold across the ship. Saving passengers is another stated objective, alongside investigating the alien takeover.
Rather than presenting the crisis only as a fight to escape, First Contact combines rescue and investigation with its multi-hero setup. The contrast between Captain Laser’s resolve and the mysterious lizards frames a focused sci-fi adventure, with the monsters’ sudden arrival serving as the central unanswered question.
