Title:
The Thing
Short Description:
Who's an alien and who's human? Find out in this tense game based on John Carpenter's The Thing.
Long Description:
"The Thing is a game that mixes different mechanisms to create an experience that is as faithful as possible to that of the original film. It is a "hidden role" game, in which one player is initially the Thing and the others players are humans. The purpose of the Thing is to infect others, to prevent the survivors from escaping from the base, or to try to escape with them by behaving as a human. In addition to these elements, players also have to manage Outpost 31. Human players have to feed themselves and keep the boiler and the generator on to avoid being in the cold and dark. The Thing will try to sabotage these places to make life difficult for humans...or not, trying to camouflage itself among the humans and infect them when the perfect opportunity presents itself.
