Description

After the enigmatic deaths of an American scientific expedition in the uncharted and frozen wastelands of the Antarctic, a military rescue team is sent in to investigate. Within these inhospitable surroundings the team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills. 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 with a simple barrage of violent ammunition – this monster is difficult to see, hard to kill, and seemingly impossible to evade. And when you actually see The Thing, it’s often too late…

Wildly engaging and even somewhat innovative, The Thing is one of those games that should not be missed.
