The plot follows the misadventures of Ed, a simple mechanic, in the world of intergalactic show business. Once upon a time, an alien ship smashed into Ed's house and while he was unconscious an evil alien girl stole his face and captured Ed to use him in a cruel intergalactic 'Hunger Games' aka Astro Monsters Show. You will play as Ed and explore the behind-the-scenes inner workings of the galactic gladiator tournament, solve mysteries, and earn fame among the alien masses, all to get the stolen face back. The game has a few alternate endings.(Storyline via IGDB)
