This is a game which doesn't need to try hard to scare you. It is not a high fidelity game. It is janky and weird, however this does not impact the core experience at all ~ That is to give you a nightmares. During the day you get objectives completed easily, since there are no enemies and good visibility. You can have a bit of fun with the silly emotes and proxy chat but when it starts to get dark things go downhill FAST. When night falls, you have two options; # Hide inside a building until morning This option results in an eerie uncomfortable time, where most of the time is spent with a weapon trained at the only dark passage that leads to you. # Continuing the objective navigating through near pitch black conditions A terrifying and often necessary decision. At any time you could be jumped, something is in the darkness, watching you chasing you, and it is faster than you. I have been enjoying my horrifying experience with this game so far, and will probably be putting a lot more hours in from now.

Don't get me wrong, the game is indie and thus can be a little rough around the edges as far as bugs, optimization, and other things are concerned. (All of these have been massively improved since release.) Even with this fact, the game retains an 83% positive score of its players and a sizable chunk of the negative reviews have an incredibly low play time. I'll be frank with you... if you've ever wanted to experience a game that truly made you feel like you were in the movie "The Thing" this is the game for you and for the foreseeable future this is the closest you're going to get. It's tragic that companies with more money and man power won't take chances on concepts like this because this game proved to me that the dream game I always had in my head is not only possible but it's fun. This game doesn't hit the total mark but it comes pretty damn close with its atmosphere and social mechanics. I play a decent amount of horror games (check the resume) and through this games unscripted/emergent gameplay I've had some of the most terrifying and cinematic moments in a game I've ever experienced. A lot of the other reviews I've seen said the same thing so it's not just me. Honestly for $7 the game is a total steal even if you don't know the movie "The Thing." On sale it's a no brainer. I'm also happy to report the game has seen a steady stream of updates since it's release into early access. The game has seen a multitude of new maps, enemies, graphical changes, vehicles, weapons, AI improvements, and with allegedly more to come. Thank you BG Productions for making a childhood dream come true. I hope nothing but the best for ya'll.

Dont listen to the bad reviews, most if not all of them have barely any playtime or any experience of what the game is and what its went through to get to this point. the dev team are so dedicated and the only time they ever stopped working on the game to my knowledge is when the head of the dev team got arrested for a DUI (i think). im super excited to see what they do next, 10/10 game.

its a funny game and the price is amazing, very cheap. the only bad things about the game is that it is poorly optimised and the devs were on crack when setting up the keybinds
