Them and Us

From the Devs

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 Story:

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?

Key Features:

General

- Fixed camera with tank and alternate control schemes.

- Third-person view with over-the-shoulder aim

- 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.

Technical Problems & Fix:

Low FPS? Please make sure that:

1. Your video card receives enough power and not sleeps 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. 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.
