This game follows the story of what happens after the John Carpenter 1982 movie adaptation of the John W. Campbell JR Novel "Who Goes There?". The original game borrows heavily on the story from the 2002 video game and the current sequel expands further on the plot after Captain Blake defeats the Thing entity. After the death of Whitley and the destruction of Gen Inc property; Captain J.F.Blake boards a rescue plane and leaves Antarctica. Complications arise and the aircraft malfunctions and crashes. With no report from Blake the Alaska base sends in a new rescue team of which you the player take control. Your task is to find Captain Blake and escort him back to Alaska. However the thing entity did not die with Whitley on that day...
The Spectre ODIN has appeared on the battlefield captain! Sometimes the regular Spectres (The Blue Ones) will be replaced by special variants. One of these is the ODIN. While slow the ODIN is not to be underestimated. They are heavily armoured, have high HP and deal moderate damage. They come in 2 variants both of which carry Hand Grenades, Nitro Grenades and all new CS Gas grenades.
One variant uses a IMI Desert Eagle and a robust shield which it can use to take damage in place of nearby spectres. The other uses a SPAS-12 Shotgun trading the defense of the shield for more attack power.
There is more to come with the short v2.5 update. SomeThing strange is going on; The Ship will never be the same again...
