What players say

Players describe a short, intense horror escape game inspired by John Carpenter's The Thing. Gameplay is basic: find items to repair one of two vehicles while avoiding monsters, with no checkpoints and death meaning a full restart. Some compare it favorably to Monstrum, while others find it simple but fun for its low price.
