AVOID THE FIXED CAMERA MODE I know about 90% of the people who play this game will play it in either Over the Shoulder or First Person, but for those like me who prefer the fixed camera perspective, just don't do it. The game is ridiculously hard and unbalanced around it. I'm a veteran of old school survival horror and I can usually do pretty well in them, but this game was just unbearable as the amount of zombies they put you up against, with how slow the movement is (I used tank controls), the extremely scarce ammo, how easy it is for the character to miss despite the game having a lock on, the randomness of enemies charging you and how slow the fire rate and recover on shooting the guns is makes the difficulty just feel punishing, unsatisfying and frustrating. In Resident Evil and Silent Hill they knew when to give you ammo, when to put enemies and where to put them to give you a challenging but manageable fight. But once you switch the game over to Over the Shoulder, oh man does the game get way better. Those zombies that took 7 bullets (If you didn't miss) to kill now can be killed in 1-4 bullets, if you aim for the head, which is easy because the zombies are slow. Oh and the knife in this perspective is so much better as you can walk backwards while attacking in the same time. In the fixed perspective you had to stand completely still which left you vulnerable. In this mode you'll actually have a huge abundance of ammo, so there isn't much reason to be overly conservative. As for the rest of the game, well, the puzzles can be frustrating as they'll be pretty obscure to figure out and solving them is unsatisfying, but I suppose for the most part they're okay. The level design is pretty great, I loved the mansion and the way you backtrack through the key items will make any old school RE fan happy. As for the courtyard, it's well designed, but I find it weird that they chose to have this be where you spend half the game since it's not very spooky to me. The graphics are what you expect from an indie game so they're okay, but I do feel like they don't do a very good job in making the game feel horrorish or atmospheric. There is a lot of jankyness and other things that make the game feel like an indie game, but I don't think that should be held against them. Overall the game is good, I'm glad I didn't quit the game as I was originally going to due to the poorly designed fixed camera mode. I'm hoping these devs have learned a lot from making this game and will go on to make something even better!

Strong survival horror with some unfortunate flaws that will make it very much "not for everyone", but those who it is for will love it. Released in 2021, early in the days of the recent fixed camera/tank controls revival, Them and Us is a cool tribute to Resident Evil and Silent Hill (moreso the former in gameplay, and a bit of a blend between the two thematically), one that does a lot of things better than almost any other game in this survival horror renaissance, but also comes with some serious flaws that mean that, as much as I enjoyed it, some people are going to bounce off of it, hard. Let's just get the big one out of the way early -- several of the puzzles in the second half of the game *will* send you running to a walkthrough. Two have literally no hints at all as to what you're supposed to do; another has a very vague hint that looks like it's a hint for another puzzle *and* a misleading "fake hint" in the room with the puzzle itself. It's frequently really hard to guess what key items can be used where (the number of places that say simply "it has a round indent" is insane), which leads to situations where you have no idea if any of the key items sitting back at your item box are what you need or if you just need to come back later. If you're a primarily puzzle-driven survival horror player, "hem And Us is almost certainly *not* the game for you. In terms of atmosphere and aesthetics, it's not bad, but a lot of it is a bit generic. It puts its best foot forward here at the start -- the early areas of the mansion are the best looking part of the game, with a lot less care taken for a lot of the later stuff. Much of it lacks cohesion, with the Otherworld and the portals not jelling with the rest of the game's aesthetic well at all, and there's some pretty jarring texture misalignments in some of the exterior areas. It's never terrible, but outside of the northern-most side of the mansion itself, it doesn't have a strong aesthetic identity -- despite being "lower fidelity", even games like Alisa or Heartworm are stronger in this regard, and The Mute House or Tormented Souls both leave it in the dust. Where Them And Us excels however, beyond anything else I've played in the recent fixed-camera revival, is in the *survival* part of survival horror. It *nails* the "planning routes around a small gameworld, figuring out what items you should take with you as you do so, and figuring out how to use your limited resources" part of survival horror gameplay. Especially early on, resources are genuinely *tight* -- you simply will have to avoid enemies for much of the game -- and save items (here, it's vinyl records of classical music that you play on phonographs taking the role of the classic ink ribbons and typewriters) are also scarce (and only come in packs of one, unlike the packs of three that RE fans are more used to). If you're like me, and that type of survival planning is your favorite part of classic survival horror, then Them and Us is an absolute feast, and one that you probably overlooked; while I think that, in terms of overall package, The Mute House comes out ahead of it and is clearly the best game thus far out of the recent genre revival, if you're the right kind of player then you'll want to try Them And Us for certain. It's probably worth noting that the above review is for the "fixed camera" mode, which is the only way I've played the game. The option is also there for a close over-the-shoulder third person mode, as well as a first person mode, and these modes change more than you'd expect, with item and enemy placement reworked and even a few areas having different layouts; however, I've only played the fixed camera mode.

I personally quite liked Them and Us. I bought it on release and TendoGames did a lot of good work making improvements and listening to feedback. I don't really understand the negative reviews, this is meant to be a classic throwback to old school Survival Horror. The puzzles are hard, the inventory management is a feature not a misstep, and you have your option of First-, Third-Person, or Fixed camera. And you can go tank controls if you like as well. Keep in mind this is a budget indie title, some jank is to be expected. People say this is ripping off ideas from other games, I say they tried to make a loving homage to their favorite survival horror games. Not sure why is says I only have 15 hours in, I've beaten it twice and with the side-content, I think? I played it back in 2021.

Ultimately this was a little TOO oldschool for me, but that's why I recommend it for anyone seeking that original Resident Evil experience. Large focus on avoiding enemies, resources are tight, and there's a LOT of doors and items to keep track of. Most impressively though, are all the features it pulls off that AAA developers haven't been able to since 2010 such as: Sharp and accurately cast shadows, functioning mirrors to look a round with, a terrifying atmosphere built from great framing and sound design, and a beautiful heroine with unlockable risque outfits. Someone explain how an indie studio's first game can nail all this yet AAA devs with 100x the budget can't?

It is fun game. Beginning is very good. In the middle of the game story turns to some grey area - instead of horror it becomes mystic. But after few hours of gameplay you can get used to this turn of events. All in all it is good game - no bugs, interesting bosses, audio is OK. Story - it could have improvements, but it is as it is. So, this worth playing.
