Taking place shortly after the events seen in the 1982 film starring Kurt Russell, The Thing takes us back to the Antarctic base and familiar locals from the film for a new chapter of isolation and paranoia. A military rescue team is sent to investigate the deaths of a research team. The team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills. Gameplay varies throughout the game, blending action, puzzles, horror and human interaction.

Gameplay
The game 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.
