Basingstoke is a roguelike and stealth video game developed and published by Puppy Games. It was released on Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS on 27 April 2018.[1][2][3] It was released on PS5 as Welcome to Basingstoke on August 28 2025.[4][5]
The player must escape an invasion of deadly aliens on foot, using their "wits and cunning".[6] The player is not able to use guns, only improvised gadgets.[6] The ultimate objective is to escape the town of Basingstoke and get "as far away from it as you possibly can".[7] However, the game does not have a health bar, and players die if they are hit once by the aliens.[6]
Plot
It is unclear if the game takes place in the same universe as Revenge of the Titans, but the game's name was based on the initial town where the aliens invaded in that game, where it was included "as a joke".[7] When aliens suddenly invade the town, the player character is trapped and must figure out how to escape alive.
