The Thing , a squad-based 3rd person shooter, is set after the events of the 1982 John Carpenter movie. You play as a member of a team tasked with destroying The Thing. Each team member has access to various weapons and items that will aid you in your mission.
Throughout the game, you'll need to work together with your teammates to progress through each level. Once one of the alien creatures is found, different weapons such as flame throwers and pistols become available to combat the threat.
The game features 20 levels, with humans scattered throughout the area. However, it's unclear whether they are allies or infected. Trust must be earned in order to achieve success.
