Them and Us

Them and Us is a survival horror game set in 1978. You play as Alicia, a woman stranded after a bus crash on remote dirt roads bordering American wilderness. Injured and alone, she faces a spreading phenomenon the game calls "the change"—its cause unexplained. The focus is atmosphere over action: you navigate dark environments, manage limited resources, and avoid threats while piecing together what's happening. Expect deliberate pacing, environmental storytelling, and tension built through sound design and isolation rather than constant enemy encounters. The 1978 setting means no modern tech—just you, the wilderness, and whatever's out there. Best for players who want slow-burn dread and don't mind sparse combat.
