The Thing is a survival horror video game developed by Computer Artworks and published by Black Label Games. It was released for Xbox in 2002. Following the story of John Carpenter's 1982 film of the same name, the game sets players in an Antarctic research facility overtaken by a shape-shifting alien lifeform. The game combines action and puzzle-solving elements with a unique fear and trust system influencing interactions with non-playable characters. Players must fight the alien menace while dealing with the paranoia and treachery that may arise from their own team.
