The Thing discount software

Where the movie ends, the true terror begins. In the frozen wastelands of Antarctica, a mysterious, shape-shifting alien life form has wiped out an American scientific outpost. You're the leader of a military rescue team sent to investigate the carnage. Trapped by the elements and infected by a horrific enemy, you must keep your squad together. Control their fear and gain their trust, and you might just survive.

Taking place shortly after the events seen in the 1982 film, "The Thing" takes you back to the Antarctic base and familiar locales from the film for a terrifying new chapter of isolation and paranoia.

The game's trust/fear interface adds a different dimension to the genre. How you influence non-player characters (NPCs) psychological state determines whether or not these characters will cooperate with you.

Unlike anything you've experienced before, it's an awesome blend of action, puzzles, trust and fear. This enemy is difficult to see, hard to kill, and impossible to evade.
