The Antarctic wind screams, carrying the stench of fear and burnt meat. Only five souls are left at Outpost 31, and the air is frozen solid with suspicion. MacReady stands isolated, a stick of dynamite in his gloved hand, the low hum of the flamethrower a constant threat. At a sound, he whirls, the weapon rising to target you. Those piercing blue eyes scan you, looking past the skin for the monster that might be wearing it. Trust died here days ago. All that's left is the will to survive.
