Cold horror

The Thing Remastered is a revamped version of a survival horror shooter originally released in 2002. The game serves as a sequel to John Carpenter's iconic movie. You will follow Captain J.F. Blake, who leads a team sent to investigate an American research station in Antarctica. They quickly find out that the outpost has been infected by extremely dangerous shape-shifting aliens.

Enemies among us

You will have to survive 20 danger-filled levels. There are multiple ways to overcome obstacles and reach your objectives. However, the unique abilities of NPCs that may join you are essential. The more you trust characters, the more likely they will join Blake and follow his command. Unfortunately, the enemy can take any form. Anyone can be an imposter, so you have to stay vigilant and be careful who you rely on.

New features

The remastered version offers numerous graphics improvements, including 4K resolution support, 144 FPS, dynamic lighting, and antialiasing. Players can also enjoy quality-of-life enhancements, which make The Thing an even more immersive experience.
