<i>At a remote scientific outpost in the Arctic, a team of nine studies their harsh environment. Suddenly, they find themselves trapped with a hostile alien parasite that can mimic humans almost perfectly. If the parasite escapes, it will infect the rest of the world and all you care about will perish.</i> --------- Co-op survival board game that tries to define what is humanity and what do you do when you cannot trust others around you. Do you become a murder hobo or try to win others trust by being kind? Will you prevent the end of the world or relish in its ruins?

The game contains traitor mechanics, paranoia, ability to exercise free will, and is one kind of a team building exercise.

<b>Inspired by John Carpenter's movie The Thing and the 80's decade.</b>
