Description
Them and Us is a classic, survival horror game with a focus on atmosphere and player immersion.
Discover the truth of Alicia’s past as she descends further into her strange, unending nightmare.
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. Its nature, its cause? unknown.
As night descends, she pushes further into the unknown - Will she survive? Will you?
General
- Fixed camera with tank and alternate control schemes.
- Third-person view with over-the-shoulder aim
- Selected first-person POV for flashbacks, cutscenes, memories, etc.
- Extra game content.
Fixed Camera: This mode is designed for people that want a true classic survival horror experience. For those who like things hard and challenging.
Over The Shoulder: Although we keep some classic elements in this mode, OTS is designed for people who want a more modern gaming experience, with a slightly easier (but still challenging in its own way) experience.
Notice:
The game pays homage to some of the classic survival horror games we love, expect to see some "rooms" or "Easter eggs" that may remind you of these games.
Regardless of how you play, this game will not hold your hand. You will have to think for yourself about what needs to be done and how to progress the story.
Use your own wits and intuition to make it out alive.
Graphics
- Post-process effects (bloom filters, god rays, etc.) added for increased immersion.
- Crisp graphics with a 60 FPS default. Unlock FPS is available.
- Optional reversion to first-gen console graphics. The retro mode also triggers fixed camera play for a greater challenge.
- UltraWide (32:9) Support
Gameplay
- Realistic damage and dismemberment systems with accompanying gore.
- In-world puzzles featuring ciphers and keys.
- Resource management for true survival horror.
Extra Content:
Finish the game and unlock new costumes or weapons.
There are different endings. Decide Alicia's fate yourself.
Low FPS? Please make sure that:
1. Your video card receives enough power and not sleeps on the job to save power:
2. The game is running on the main monitor connected on your video card:
Why this happens:
This game required very little performance to run well, an NVidia GTX 1080 is enough for this game. If the hardware is to new it may not use any of its power or even pick the real video card, saying like "this application don't need any power to run well". This happens more on laptops due to battery save.
In this case we need to manually tell our PC that this game needs power like all other games or apps.

Really good game, for the price and not being a AAA game i was surprise about the quality and desing, of course you can see some bugs or some not so perfect stuff but i think if you ignore that , it could be a enjoyable game; i recommende to chek this game specialy if you are like a RE lover
- good desing
- interesting story
- some glitch

Video gioco che si rifà ai grandi Resident Evil dal 1996 fino al 2001 con Code Veronica X.
Le meccaniche sono in terza persona con telecamera fissa (pieno stile Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2 e Resident Evil 3) pronta a farvi prendere infarti e sprecare molte munizioni, una visione in terza persona con telecamera sulla spalla (come i nuovi remake di Resident Evil) e per finire la visuale in prima persona.
Pieno di enigmi per gli amanti del genere survival horror, una gestione dell'inventario con meccaniche simili a Resident Evil 0 (non ci sono casse, ma gli oggetti in esubero vanno abbandonati a terra), munizioni scarsissime, nemici agguerriti ed una trama ben costruita, fanno di questo gioco un degno tributo ad un mostro sacro come Resident Evil.
Per finire 4 finali sbloccabili ed armi particolari.
Veramente consigliato a chi, come me, ama i surival horror "vecchia scuola".
Video game that refers to the great Resident Evil from 1996 until 2001 with Code Veronica X.
The mechanics are in third person with a fixed camera (full Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 style) ready to make you have heart attacks and waste a lot of ammunition, a third person vision with camera on the shoulder (like the new Resident Evil remakes ) and finally the first person view.
Full of puzzles for lovers of the survival horror genre, inventory management with mechanics similar to Resident Evil 0 (there are no chests, but excess items must be abandoned on the ground), very scarce ammunition, fierce enemies and a well-constructed plot , make this game a worthy tribute to a sacred monster like Resident Evil.
Finally 4 unlockable endings and special weapons.
Really recommended to those who, like me, love "old school" horror surivals.

- Tributo molto ben costruito per gli amanti di Resident Evil
- Tre modalità di visuale per tutti i gusti
- Quattro finali in base alle scelte del giocatore
- In alcune fasi molto dispersivo
- Grafica a volte legnosa
- Audio a volte non preciso sul posizionamento dei nemici
