Alien Occupation
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Alien Occupation!
This is a game for the Apollo GC Jam 2019. It was meant to be less than 32k but I failed. That being said it was great fun building a full game in Qbasic, a program I haven't touched since I was about 12 years old.
The game is a bit of a Alien + Five Nights at Freddy's mashup, but in the DOS world. The entire crew of a space station has been wiped out by an aggressive alien species. Hardeep Fisher is the only survivor and it's your job to lead her to safety.
Alien Occupation is a game about balancing power usage and avoiding the alien creature, trying to find the correct items in order to escape via the emergency escape pods.

Hello,
Wow! A full game in Qbasic! I hear that QB64 can be used to compile Qbasic source code of game. As a result, DOSBox is not required for playing game. This will be more convenient for players. Perhaps you can try this method.
