This game is a simple simulation of an unusual topic, alien possession-- seen through the lens of a 1950s B-movie.  Think INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS or the TV Show INVADERS as subtext.  I lump it into the "goofy" category, if you like THE CREATURE THAT ATE SHEBOYGAN or BUG-EYED MONSTERS (THEY WANT OUR WOMEN), you will probably like this.
