'''''An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs''''' is an [[adventure video game]] developed and published by Strange Scaffold.  Players explore airports and interact with intelligent, talking dogs.  It was released for [[Windows]], [[Xbox Series X/S]], and [[Nintendo Switch]].

== Gameplay ==
The protagonist and his fiancée, the last two humans, travel separately to various locations through airports run by dogs.  The dogs are represented using stock photography and have descriptive names, such as "Bribe Dog", who accepts bribes.  The dogs often require players to perform [[fetch quest]]s to progress to their destination, but there is no money involved.  Once players acquire the proper items, they can board their flight to meet their fiancée.  Locations can include other planets.  Time proceeds in real-time, and, if they miss their flight, players must determine an alternate route.  All the signs are written in an alien language, which can be deciphered.<ref name=radar>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/have-you-triedbuying-a-skateboard-from-a-dog-named-chad-shakespeare-in-an-airport-for-aliens-currently-run-by-dogs/|title=Have you tried... buying a skateboard from a dog named Chad Shakespeare in An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs?|last=Mercante|first=Alyssa|work=[[GamesRadar]]|date=2021-06-11|accessdate=2023-10-02|archive-date=2023-09-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230926192855/https://www.gamesradar.com/have-you-triedbuying-a-skateboard-from-a-dog-named-chad-shakespeare-in-an-airport-for-aliens-currently-run-by-dogs/|url-status=live}}</ref>  The airports are [[open world]], and players can complete optional [[side quest]]s while they explore.<ref name=ag>{{cite web|url=https://adventuregamers.com/articles/view/an-airport-for-aliens-currently-run-by-dogs|title=Review for ''An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs''|last=Robertson|first=Sean|work=[[Adventure Gamers]]|date=2021-09-03|accessdate=2023-10-02|archive-date=2023-09-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230926185954/https://adventuregamers.com/articles/view/an-airport-for-aliens-currently-run-by-dogs|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Development ==
Strange Scaffold was founded by [[El Paso, Texas]]-based<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.inverse.com/gaming/el-paso-elsewhere-xalavier-nelson|title=Finding humanity in ''An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs''|last=Madsen|first=Hayes|work=[[Inverse (website)|Inverse]]|date=2023-08-03|accessdate=2023-10-01|archive-date=2023-08-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230816163503/https://www.inverse.com/gaming/el-paso-elsewhere-xalavier-nelson|url-status=live}}</ref> developer Xalavier Nelson Jr. for his personal projects.  Nelson began as a video game reviewer and wrote articles for ''[[PC Gamer]]''.  Eventually, he realized that he wanted to tell stories using video games.  ''An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs'' was developed in collaboration with No Quarter, an event run by the [[NYU Game Center]].  The story was initially serious, but Nelson liked the effect of the placeholder stock photo of a dog that he used for one of the characters.  Nelson said his amusement over the change turned the development into "a healthy and joyful process".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/finding-humanity-in-an-airport-for-aliens-currently-run-by-dogs|title=Finding humanity in ''An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs''|last=Valentine|first=Rebekah|work=[[GamesIndustry.biz]]|date=2020-05-13|accessdate=2023-10-01|archive-date=2023-09-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230930182030/https://www.gamesindustry.biz/finding-humanity-in-an-airport-for-aliens-currently-run-by-dogs|url-status=live}}</ref> Strange Scaffold released it for Windows and Xbox Series X/S on May 25, 2021.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/an-airport-for-aliens-currently-run-by-dogs-is-a-real-game-coming-to-xbox-series-x/|title=An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs is a real game coming to Xbox Series X|last=Mercante|first=Alyssa|work=[[GamesRadar]]|date=2021-05-21|accessdate=2023-10-02|archive-date=2023-10-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231002222111/https://www.gamesradar.com/an-airport-for-aliens-currently-run-by-dogs-is-a-real-game-coming-to-xbox-series-x/|url-status=live}}</ref>  They ported it to the Switch on August 25, 2022.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/09/nintendo-download-1st-september-north-america|title=Nintendo Download: 1st September (North America)|last=Hagues|first=Alana|work=[[Nintendo Life]]|date=2022-09-01|accessdate=2023-10-02|archive-date=2023-10-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231002222111/https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/09/nintendo-download-1st-september-north-america|url-status=live}}</ref>
