At an Antarctic outpost, the hidden alien Thing tries to infect the crew and stop their escape while the humans struggle to survive and get out alive.
Gameplay
You move through Outpost 31’s rooms to take actions, draw and play cards, trade items, run tests, and vote on who to trust while working toward (or preventing) an escape. Paranoia builds as sabotage and infection spread, and every accusation risks helping the monster.
