* BittersweetEnding: In nearly every ending, Xen's ambitions to fix the problem's of the Earth come to an end in one way or another. While their methods are shown to have gone off the rails, and some people are more miserable and scared than ever, they did still effectively end poverty and war, as well as many other exploitative aspects of capitalism that oppressed countless people around the world. And with Xen gone, it's implied that the world will eventually go back to how it was before they arrived...

Therefore logically, Xen must dismiss themselves for the good of the planet. After some pushback, Xen ultimately agrees and leaves Earth.]]

In hindsight, "led by one named Xen" feels like unnatural phrasing.


Ekiya is a young woman living in London whose life, which was already a struggle, becomes far more complicated after she's abducted by aliens led by one named Xen. Xen states that they're merely interested in saving civilizations before they destroy themselves, and asks Ekiya what Earth's greatest problem is. Ekiya, who has been trying to make ends meet with her roommate Sarah, states that the most serious problem in her life is late-stage capitalism. Ekiya is then returned to Earth in time to hear Xen's ultimatum to Earth's inhabitants: every day, until the planet's wealth is evenly distributed, they will kill an increasing number of the world's currently wealthiest people. Realizing the severity of what she's said, Ekiya must now decide how to [[TitleDrop Save The World]]: by prioritizing humanity and stopping Xen, or by encouraging Xen and forcefully dismantling a broken system.

* BenevolentAlienInvasion: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged.]] The aliens came to help rather than abuse humanity but they do so by overwhelming force of superior technology and allow no negotiation. They plan to leave humanity alone after they have "fixed" our society but their misunderstandings of how humans tend to think and react means that there may not be much left of human society by the time they are done.

!!The Early Access version contains the following Tropes:

* CapitalismIsBad: The crux of the story is Ekiya expressing this viewpoint to Xen, and Xen deciding MurderIsTheBestSolution.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Xen is a nonbinary but femme-presenting blue-skinned humanoid, and one of Ekiya's two main love interests.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Xen's solution to solving Earth's uneven distribution of wealth is to kill the wealthiest people.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Ekiya initially answers Xen's questions about Earth's problems, she did not expect her to solve it via MurderIsTheBestSolution, and one of the game's two main routes is her then trying to stop the aliens through either negotiation or retaliation.
* YuriGenre: Ekiya can romance either her female roommate Sarah or the [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Blue-Skinned Space Femme]] Xen, as well as have an optional one-night stand with the female [=MI6=] agent Castillo.
