Question - meeting with the aliens would be like, rare right? so its more survival than fighting aliens? like the quiet parts in the Last of Us, where they're going around and see maybe 1 zombie somewhere rather than 1 at every corner?

Yes but they will tend to live in nests and hunt in packs... so there is an off chance of seeing 4 at once.

Short Backstory (Optional) Wally's life could, and often has, be likened to that of a rat.

Taking liking to the highest building in New York, he scales the ruin of the Empire State building where he sets up a living area for himself.
