I felt bad about never finishing the game, about giving up, stuck, at a save game where I can either sneak out and inevitably get slaughtered shortly afterward or stay in my hiding spot until the end of time ...

But you've given me a whole new perspective! It's not that I suck too badly to win and lack the fortitude to keep trying through death after terrifying death, it's that I'm trying to be faithful to film canon.

stay in my hiding spot until the end of time

Wait, you can get soft-locked in the game like that, or do you merely have to wait five minutes for the alien to wander off ?

In theory: wait a few minutes for the alien to wander off, sneak out, use well-practiced stealth skills to evade the alien, make progress.

In my game (when I got enough levels in): wait a few minutes for the alien to wander off, sneak out, realize my stealth skills are not well-practiced enough when the alien inevitably finds me...

Not the game's fault, I'm sad to say. I was improving from level to level, but not quite as quickly as the difficulty was increasing.
