''My Teacher Is an Alien'' is a video game based loosely on [[Literature/MyTeacherIsAnAlien the book of the same name]].
!!This game features example of:
* BagOfSharing: Everyone has the same inventory.
* DevelopersForesight: Some characters react differently if you are talking to them via Susan, Duncan, or Peter. For example, the principal's secretary will scowl at Duncan if he asks to see the lost and found, and the principal will, if Susan or Peter are sent to detention, say "This is very unlike you."
* DisproportionateRetribution: If Duncan's teacher for first period catches him shooting a slingshot, she drops his grade by a point.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: You can get your character put in detention for ''getting hit by stink bombs''.
* FunnyForeigner: The lunch ladies and the janitors speak with very heavy accents, and the janitor even speaks with syntax similar to this trope. Apparently they come from a {{Ruritania}}.
%% LaserGuidedAmnesia: Any students rescued.
* MultipleEndings: The three kids all have their own ways of escaping at the very end, either by negotiating with the alien leader, calling the press, or shooting their way out.
%% TheNineties: The fashion and the computers.
%% OhCrap: A transmission the characters can listen to instructs the alien to abduct the following students: Susan Simmons, Duncan Dougal, and Peter Thompson. Naturally the characters aren't fond of hearing this.
* PragmaticAdaptation: In order to make it more of a video game and add some replay value, the teacher who is the alien is randomized each playthrough.
* SpaceCompression: That school is nowhere ''near'' the size a school ''should'' be.
* UnexpectedGameplayChange: The game is a point and click adventure game, however, if one is going for Duncan's ending then it will turn into a pseudo-first person shooter game.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Dozens of people see Broxholm unmasked and even more watch his ship escape, but the town's reaction seems to be just pretending en masse that it never happened. There're some hints that the government hushed things up, but it's never fleshed out.
%% {{Unwinnable}}: The minigame where stink bombs are thrown at your character. It's unknown if it's by mistake or by design.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Shoot that person who keeps raising his hand right in the head with your slingshot. Or throw water on random teachers. You know you want to.
* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: The former causes you to have to restart the minigame (if this offence makes you acquire your third check mark), makes the teacher yell at you, and the latter will get your character placed in detention.
