Roswell Ranch
A downloadable game for Windows
Howdy, stranger! Hide from a UFO, find weapon parts, and protect the farm from extraterrestrial threats.
Roswell Ranch is a free survival horror game made in Unreal Engine 5.
After an ominous 911 call, you are sent to investigate some strange sightings on a farm. It's your job to find the components of BERTHA, the world's first anti-extraterrestrial firearm. Solve puzzles around the farm to find all the parts, and you might just stand a chance against an invading UFO!
REPLAYABILITY
Roswell Ranch offers a varied experience with each playthrough. The keys needed to solve puzzles spawn in a controlled set of randomized locations (although, items that are required to beat the game do not spawn in the cornfield or other hard to reach areas). Additionally, upon completion, players are presented with a completion time that they can try to beat in their next playthrough. How fast can YOU save the farm?
COLLECTIBLES
Find all 10 UFO collectibles hidden around the map to enable UFO Mode, a game mode in which BERTHA fires UFO projectiles. Alternatively, find the hidden cowboy hat to give the aliens some good ol' country style... but be warned, the cowboy hat spawns in a random location every game!
STREAMABILITY
Roswell Ranch is the perfect game for short horror Let's Plays or streams! If you make a reaction video, please post a link down below because we would love to check it out!
DEVELOPMENT
Hi, I'm Austin - a 3D artist and indie developer. Roswell Ranch has been in production for 1 year, and in that time I learned a lot about Unreal Engine and game development. That doesn't mean I did everything myself - thanks to a talented voice over artist, a few beta testers, and lots of pre-made assets, this game was actually possible!

PATCH UPDATE 8/27/24
A list of patch notes for the most recent build of Roswell Ranch:
- Removed a ladder in the Hay Mayz that was causing players to get stuck.
- Fixed a bug in which the UFO could abduct players through the roof of the shed.
- Removed all cutscenes from any "restarts" after the player dies (i.e. cutscenes can ONLY be triggered by clicking the Play button on the main menu).
- Decreased the max walk speed of the aliens by 20%.

This is a really fun game, I like the set up of collecing parts but dang I need a checkpoint the ufo is not my friend lol
I sucked at it but it was really fun. (pls don't fix the spinning on top of the weapon part bug, it's too funny). Only thing that annoyed me was the complete lack of a saving feature, specially considering the UFO is a bit... unforgiving. So it can kinda be frustrating. But besides that I had a lot of fun with it
I didnt find all the ufos but still I enjoyed it!! I love alien games
Hey man thanks for playing! It’s crazy that I’m already halfway through watching this because I found it this morning.
You have found more UFOs than most people, I don’t think anyone has collected all of them.
Game is so cool but there are some bugs I faced. The ladder in the shed having a bug, I was stuck there multiple time forced me to restart the game. There is no checkpoint in this game. At least add a checkpoint when we collect all the parts. 4/5
Really cool! what engine did you use to make this?
Thanks! This was made in Unreal Engine 5.3
Nice this was really really good game I like it anyway well done keep it up!
Thank-you, I really appreciate it and I'm glad you like it!
