The Thing is a game that mixes different mechanisms to create an experience that is as faithful as possible to that of the original film. The purpose of the Thing is to infect others, to prevent the survivors from escaping from the base (which can happen three different ways), or to try to escape with them by behaving as a human. It is a "hidden role" game, in which one player is initially the Thing and the others players are humans.
