About this episode
The Waypoint Radio crew discusses the video game adaptation of the horror classic The Thing, exploring its themes and mechanics.
After an increasingly harrowing stream series, the Waypoint Radio crew is here to finally dig into The Thing (2002), a video game follow up to the horror film classic The Thing. We get into how the game plays with the themes of the film, how excited we were as it introduces its mechanics, and how it all falls apart by the endgame. Hosted on Acast.
