About Them and Us
✦ AI summary
Survive a nightmarish descent into the American wilderness after a bus crash in 1978, uncovering the truth behind protagonist Alicia's tragic past while solving puzzles and managing resources against an incomprehensible "change" overtaking the world. Choose between classic fixed-camera survival horror or modern over-the-shoulder gameplay, with multiple endings, retro graphics options, and unforgiving puzzle-solving that refuses to hold your hand.
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.
- 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.
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.

It recalls old good days3 found this helpful
Starts out okay with kind of old school RE vibes, but starts to make absolutely no sense at all once portals start showing up. Runs pretty clunky too, inconsistent frame rate and weird physics. I'd skip this one.1 found this helpful
It feels like a cheaper version of Resident Evil. I'm not saying I didn't like it, I had fun playing it. I recommend it more as an extra game to play after you've already finished most of the RE and other better RE-style games
The proper sequel to Code Veronica.
Pros: Supports ultrawide aspect ratios. Play with fixed camera or OTS view. Classic survival horror gameplay and a lengthy campaign. Very nice graphics and performance. Cons: Playfield is sometimes overwhelmingly large. Inventory space is very limited and item boxes are often out of the way. You can drop items anywhere and have them teleported to the save room later, which helps somewhat. You can only view the map for the area you are currently in. This makes backtracking to locations and getting from A to B pretty tedious at times. I spent over a hour looking for the cemetery at one point. You unlock shortcuts to make it quicker to get between areas, but since you can’t see how the maps connect I often forgot where they were. This game seems to fly under the radar a bit, which is a shame. It’s on par with other Indy survival horror games I’ve played such as Echoes of the Living and Ground Zero. I would recommend.
