Black Label Games' third-person adventure starts where the movie leaves off. A team of American scientists residing in the Antarctic are unwittingly exposed to an alien creature that lives in any living organism. After the creature kills off most of the scientists, the remaining two men decide to blow up the entire camp to keep wipe it out completely.

Players explore the destroyed station and fend of creatures while facing several dynamics, such as handling the freezing cold and a trust/fear system.
