Item Description
Nobody trusts anybody in the Antarctic, and that paranoia is the beating heart of The Thing. Computer Artworks' survival horror game is a direct sequel to John Carpenter's 1982 film, picking up after the events at Outpost 31: a US special forces team led by Captain J.F. Blake is sent to investigate what happened at the American base and the Norwegian camp nearby, and walks straight into a shape-shifting organism that can hide inside any one of them.
Its Trust and Fear system is what sets it apart. Every engineer, medic and soldier in your squad tracks how much they trust you and how frightened they are. Hand a nervous teammate a weapon or ammunition and you build trust; drag them through a room full of mutilated bodies or leave them in the dark and their fear spikes until they panic, break down or turn their gun on you. Blood test kits let you prove who is still human, but supplies are limited, and the creeping suspicion that a teammate stopped being human some time ago never quite goes away.
Every squad type matters: engineers repair fuse boxes and open sealed doors, medics patch up wounds, and soldiers bring firepower, so losing the wrong person at the wrong moment can leave you stranded. Fire is the only real answer to the creatures, and the flamethrower becomes your most treasured tool as you push through frozen research stations, flickering corridors and buried facilities. John Carpenter himself turns up in a voice cameo, a nod from the director that fans of the film appreciate.
Few licensed horror games have understood their source material this well. The Thing never tries to be a straight shooter; it is about isolation, cold and the dread of not knowing who is standing next to you, the same ingredients that made Carpenter's film a horror landmark. It is a cult favorite of the PS2 era, and it gives the film's famously ambiguous ending the follow-up horror fans spent twenty years wondering about.

About the game
While investigating the enigmatic deaths of American scientists in the Antarctic, a military rescue team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of the people it kills. As the team leader, you must forget everything you ever learned about obliterating aliens simply with a barrage of violent ammunition--this monster is difficult to see, hard to kill, and seemingly impossible to evade. In the midst of this lurking terror, you must convince your squad to cooperate and complete tasks essential to both the success of the mission and your own survival.
