    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 the Thing. Taking place shortly after the events seen in the 1982 film, The Thing takes us 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. Puzzle-solving can be accomplished by a multitude of scenarios; there is never just one way to accomplish an objective. The varying pace of gameplay blends action...

    WIN 10 Problems
    Hey guys, I bought the game in 2019 after I watched the movie recently. But unfortunetly it didnt run on my win 10 (GTX 760, i5). I tried every Compatibility Preference but without any success. So if you get the game working pleas write a short guide. I give 3 stars because I know its still a great game.

    Entertaining
    I had a physical disk of this game but lost it long ago. This is a good TPS with a few cooperative command with your npcs. The graphics are old but that doesn't matter. The game play is fun enough. Try it for yourself. As for the installation process, just download the setup file (single file) then installs the game. No further registration require, however I can't get it to run on Windows 10 but on my old laptop with Win 7, the game runs fine.

    As for the HAXW review, I confused it with GRAW installation. The installation process are just like I explained except the CD-KEY is not necessary anymore as the online modes were shut down long ago. The game never asks for CD-KEY, not even during the setup process. It will ask for CD-KEY if you try to enter online which you can't anyway. Sorry for the confusing and I can't edit my HAWX review.

    The Thing
    This game may be old but it is still fun to play. Gameplay is straightforward graphics are good considering the age of the game. Probably the first horror game for that particular genre.
