 OUR VIEW
The Thing brings fear and suspense to unimaginable levels, with a compelling plot and unique gameplay elements based upon action, evasion, trust and fear.  Forget everything you ever learned about obliterating alien species simply with a barrage of violent ammunition - this monster is difficult to see, hard to kill, and seemingly impossible to evade.   
 
And when you actually see it, it's often too late...   
 
Taking place shortly after the events seen in the 1982 film - The Thing takes us back to the Antarctic base and familiar locals from the film for a terrifying, new chapter of isolation and paranoia. 
 
Advanced trust/fear interface adds a new dimension to the genre - How you influence non-player characters (NPCs) psychological state determines whether or not these characters will cooperate with you.  Amazing lighting, weather and particle effects complemented by subtle sound cues and scripted events create a new level of suspense and terror. 
 
Unique combat system that allows weapons to be customized and scratch built in many cases. 
 
Puzzle Solving can be accomplished by a multitude of scenarios - there is never just one way to accomplish an objective. 
 
Varied pace of gameplay throughout the game, blending action, puzzles, horror and human interaction.
