Evaluation

Them and Us officially launched out of Early Access on September 28, 2021, with the full story, multiple endings, and several camera/control modes. Since then, the developer has shipped two costume DLC packs (the Asian Costume Pack in May 2023 and the Soo Yun character DLC in March 2025) alongside a soundtrack release and a series of feature patches and bug fixes. All five DLC items listed on the store are marked as released, with the most recent — the Soo Yun DLC — shipping on March 22, 2025, accompanied by a bug fix patch on the same date. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no developer announcements of upcoming content, and no roadmap or stated plans for additional releases. The developer's last communication was the March 22, 2025 patch notes. The game's post-launch history shows infrequent DLC releases (roughly one per year or longer), and no further content has been signaled since the Soo Yun DLC. With all announced content shipped and no new commitments visible, the game appears to be content-complete as of March 2025.

About this game

Them and Us is a classic, survival horror game with a focus on atmosphere and player immersion.

Discover the truth of Alicia’s past as she descends further into her strange, unending nightmare.

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. Around her, quietly, slowly, a surreal and deadly nightmare unfolds.

Fighting for her life, Alicia finds herself in the midst of events she does not understand- a "change" taking grip on the world around her. Its nature, its cause? unknown.

As night descends, she pushes further into the unknown - Will she survive? Will you?

Key Features:

General

- Fixed camera with tank and alternate control schemes.

- Third-person view with over-the-shoulder aim

- Selected first-person POV for flashbacks, cutscenes, memories, etc.

- Extra game content.

Fixed Camera: This mode is designed for people that want a true classic survival horror experience. For those who like things hard and challenging.

Over The Shoulder: Although we keep some classic elements in this mode, OTS is designed for people who want a more modern gaming experience, with a slightly easier (but still challenging in its own way) experience.

Notice:

The game pays homage to some of the classic survival horror games we love, expect to see some "rooms" or "Easter eggs" that may remind you of these games.

Regardless of how you play, this game will not hold your hand. You will have to think for yourself about what needs to be done and how to progress the story.

Use your own wits and intuition to make it out alive.

Graphics

- Post-process effects (bloom filters, god rays, etc.) added for increased immersion.

- Crisp graphics with a 60 FPS default. Unlock FPS is available.

- Optional reversion to first-gen console graphics. The retro mode also triggers fixed camera play for a greater challenge.

- UltraWide (32:9) Support

Gameplay

- Realistic damage and dismemberment systems with accompanying gore.

- In-world puzzles featuring ciphers and keys.

- Resource management for true survival horror.

Extra Content:

Finish the game and unlock new costumes or weapons.

There are different endings. Decide Alicia's fate yourself.

Technical Problems & Fix:

Low FPS? Please make sure that:

1. Your video card receives enough power and not sleeps to save power.

2. The game is running on the main monitor connected on your video card.

Why this happens:

This game required very little performance to run well, an NVidia GTX 1080 is enough. If the hardware is to new it may not use any of its power or even pick the real video card, saying like "this application don't need any power to run well". This happens more on laptops due to battery save. In this case we need to manually tell our PC that this game needs power like all other games or apps.
