"I'M GONNA SHARE MY M&Ms WITH THEM & US AND
LISTEN TO EMINEM."
Rick, Flux, and Topsy Bot 5000 dive headfirst into the atmospheric survival horror Them & Us! This indie gem takes heavy inspiration from classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, delivering fixed-camera dread, puzzles, and plenty of zombie mayhem. The crew critiques its throwback charm, cheesy dialogue, and the eerie mansion that feels like it’s been ripped from the nightmares of a 90s gamer.
Watch as Rick struggles with tank controls, Flux roasts the game's design choices, and Topsy finds a way to turn every jump scare into an opportunity to mock Rick’s reactions. Can they survive the onslaught of undead and uncover the mansion’s secrets, or will Rick lose it when the key he’s looking for turns out to be behind yet another locked door?
GAME BIO: Them & Us is a survival horror game developed by TendoGames, inspired heavily by classic PlayStation-era horror design. Set in a remote mansion following a mysterious bus crash, the game emphasizes fixed camera angles, limited resources, and deliberate pacing. Players explore interconnected environments while solving puzzles and fending off grotesque enemies with scarce ammunition.
The game offers both classic tank controls and optional modern movement, catering to old-school and contemporary players alike. Known for its unapologetically retro structure and oppressive atmosphere, Them & Us serves as a modern homage to early Resident Evil titles.
