Rockwell is the second area in Destroy All Humans!. It is a small, rural mid-western town.
Overview[]
When Crypto first arrived in the town, he infiltrated the local fair, hypnotized Miss Rockwell and abducted her in the Saucer for probing. In response, the Police arrived and Crypto destroyed the fairground. Rockwell’s local newspaper later blamed the destruction on a “freak storm.”
On his second mission, Crypto impersonated the Mayor of Rockwell (after putting him to sleep) and convinced the town’s panicking citizens that there were no aliens. While performing his mission, the Furon also learned of another town called Santa Modesta.
On his third and final mission to Rockwell, Crypto used a film made by Orthopox to hypnotize local teenagers.
Areas[]
- Fair: A small fenced-in area at the edge of the town. It has many stands and rides, including a ferris wheel, a circus tent, a petting zoo (which features only a cow), and a stage where the Mayor stands. The fair is later destroyed by Crypto in the Saucer.
- Town Hall: The largest building in town. It had 2 balconies, and it was where the “Mayor” gave his speech during Crypto’s second mission.
- Drive-in Theater: One of the largest areas in town. Crypto played a film here to hypnotize the local teenagers watching it. Aside from its giant filmscreen, the theater consisted of a concession building and a gazebo.
- Military Base: Located near the Drive-in Theater, Rockwell’s Military Base consisted of several warehouses, some Army Trucks and a barracks. It was often guarded by soldiers.
