F.A.Q: Frequently Asked Questions
Them and Us is an innovative survival shooter that combines elements of both old school survival horror combined with the capabilities of modern day gaming engines to bring you an unforgettable gameplay experience. Unlike most modern day zombie-horror based games, Them and Us stands apart from others in the genre because of it’s unique story approach based off of real historical research blended with modern day occultist beliefs to provide a disturbingly real atmosphere. Along with an immersive story and gameplay, we bring back aspects of gameplay that most modern games have done away with, like hard save areas, challenging in-game puzzles, unpredictable enemies, changeable camera schemes and item resource management. Not only will you need to be smart and resourceful to survive, you must also be aware of your actions in game, as the game has four different endings depending on decisions you make in the game. Unlike other games, we do not hold your hand through the journey, you must rely entirely on your resourcefulness and quick reflexes in order to survive.
The year is 1978. A lone bus, a terrible crash, out upon the old and winding dirt roads which skirt a vast American wilderness. A survivor. A young woman, her mind scarred by a life of tragedy, her name is Alicia. She is alone. She is injured. Around her, quietly, slowly, a surreal and deadly nightmare unfolds.
Fighting for her life, Alicia finds herself in the midst of events she does not understand- a "change" taking grip on the world around her. It’s nature, it’s cause? unknown.
As night descends, she pushes further into the unknown - Will she survive? Will you?
