PlayStation · 1999
About this game
In UFO: A Day in the Life , the player takes control of a little alien, who is sent by his superior (a creature known as "Mother") to retrieve over fifty aliens who were stranded in a regular apartment building on the Earth after a UFO crash.
There is, however, one big problem: these aliens are invisible! The little hero must use a device named "Cosmic" in order to locate them; but even then, it is necessary to take a full picture of the alien so that the rescue team will know where to search.

So, how is it possible to take pictures of invisible beings?..
By carefully observing the environments and the behavior of humans and other animals.
For example, if an animal appears to be afraid of something, there might be a chance an alien is nearby.
Or, if something has changed in the scenery, perhaps an alien was at work there.
UFO is essentially a puzzle game with adventure elements (navigating a character).
The hero must travel to different rooms in the apartment building at different times, trying to snap the perfect picture of the invisible alien.
The player is given a time limit and a picture limit (ten pictures per visit).
Afterwards, the hero has to return to Mother, who will eat the negatives (really), produce pictures, and then decide whether they are suitable or not.
Each successfully taken photo opens a new area and/or a new time of the day in the apartment block.
UFO is Love-de-lic's second game (after Moon: Remix RPG Adventure ).
It shares a few stylistic traits and gameplay elements with its predecessor, such as the eccentric character design, the "gibberish" language with sub-titles, and the day/night cycle with character schedules as an important gameplay element.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks UFO: A Day in the Life for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding UFO: A Day in the Life to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1999.
