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...
This is the creature that you play as in Thing Mode, a short puzzle like game about its escape from the submersible. It can be unlocked as a optional boss fight in story mode, it has shocking potential :P
Thing mode?
A mode where you control the thing. Its a bit hit and miss but I was a big fan of the evil mode in LOTR Third Age. Controlling the villains is sometimes fun. The electric creature from the story appears as a secret boss battle in story mode if correct conditions are met.
Seems a tad easier compared to normal mode maybe....
Still at the beginning of story mode but i'll get to this guy eventually. I will not let it get it's revenge on Blake!
