Description

From the listing uploaded by “puppetgamer”.

This app is designed to work alongside the book Alien: Augmented Reality Survival Manual! Alien AR is an amazingly immersive augmented reality app featuring training missions with the Colonial Marines from across the Alien movie franchise and the brand new “Book of Alien”. Seven missions are available - your objective? Survival! Experience the Alien Chestburster in all its gory glory - and share video of its chest bursting exploits with your friends; perform a dangerous Alien autopsy; take a selfie with the Alien Queen; examine an Alien Facehugger egg; load and fire a variety of weapons; defend yourself against a brood of incoming Aliens; pilot a dropship in extreme conditions to save the day.
