Who Goes There?

Players cooperate to survive an Antarctic research camp while an alien entity may be pretending to be one of them. The game combines resource management and player interaction: build, trade, and upgrade weapons and equipment, share food and medkits, and repair camp systems to avoid freezing and other hazards. As temperatures fall and missions send players out into the icy terrain, paranoia grows and hidden infections can turn allies into threats. Victory requires completing objectives outside the camp and keeping at least some players human; trust and careful cooperation shape every decision as the danger of The Thing rises.
