The game is said to be inspired by the party game Mafia and the science fiction horror film The Thing. It is a multiplayer social deduction game.

Gameplay
There are two teams, the Crews and the Impostors. The crew has to identify and eliminate the impostors, while the impostors are trying to sabotage and kill the crew. There are six rounds in the game. Impostors should not reveal themselves, so it is up to the crew to figure out who is an impostor. Gameplay consists of two phases: the Day and the Night. During the Day, players have to complete a set number of tasks, and can work together to do so by pairing up into groups of two or three. At the end of the Day, the Crewmates vote on who they think are Impostors, and the Impostors vote on who they think are Crewmates. The voting process is a plurality vote, meaning that if just 1 person votes for a player, the player is eliminated. Players can vote for themselves, but this will reveal their identity. If the vote is unsuccessful, a new Day begins.
