Switch between fixed or over the shoulder camera modes and enhanced gameplay with the new 3.0 update.
ABOUT THIS GAME
Them & Us is a hardcore, survival horror game with a focus on atmosphere and player immersion.
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. And around her,
quietly, slowly, a surreal and deadly nightmare unfolds.
Fighting for her life, Alicia she finds
herself in the midst of events she does not understand- a ‘change’ taking grip
on the world around her. It’s nature, it’s cause, unknown.
As night descends, as she pushes further into
the unknown – Will she survive? Will you?
We had covered the demo of this game & supported the funding part by promoting it through an article in 2018. Here’s the link to our article written by Paul :- “THEM & US” – A Survival Horror Game
Here’s the gameplay of the Demo by Paul and his thoughts on it from our official YouTube channel:-
Unfortunately, the playable demo is no longer available for download due to the inability to update the demo with the latest patches to fix key issues. So, the demo footage we have is pretty rare now. and does not reflect the performance of the game that is released on Steam now. The gameplay and levels are similar but there are a lot of things improved as mentioned below.
Key Features & Improvements since the initial Demo:
General

I agree, the first person mode and VR will make this game as frightening as Resident Evil 7.
The GUI that hides itself is indeed a great way of making the game feel look more immersive. Resident Evil 5 also hid the HUD if we don’t move the character for too long. But it still had the HUD during movements. his seems like a better version of it. Dead Space did it nicely but having the health bar on the back of the suit itself. Negative Atmosphere, the indie game inspired by it also made similar integrated HUD- https://ehpodcasts.com/2019/04/09/sci-fi-horror-game-negative-atmosphere-egx-rezzed-demo-official-gameplay-revealed/

This game would be awesome in VR!
I quite like the GUI and inventory menu. It’s great that the gun icon on the GUI only pops up when you fire or reload the weapon. That way the GUI doesn’t become too distracting from the gameplay
