Short description:
The main character will be a simple character woman that doesnt even know how to use a weapon, that spent more than 5 years into a cell accused for something that she didnt did, outside of the world, until one day one day everything changes
When she needs to be transfer with a group of people to another prison. We know something will happen, maybe when they leave, or maybe on the road
We cant share much, but we can say that the action will mainly be hold into a huge building with locking doors, full of terror, gore and and hungry monsters, there will be many other places as well, like crypts, dark places, underground levels.
Enemy behavior:
The enemy will move slow but they are going to be very deadly and scary and noisy, better keep the lights on. Our game will also include a special zombie character that will keep our protagonist quite busy along the game watch out for it because with every kill he/she/it becomes stronger and stronger regenerating from ground.
Can you survive long enough?
We just recently started this project, but we try to move as fast as we can to get the fundamental of the game down, here you can see some of the team work in progress:
Bushidou:
Bushidou I was pretty busy creating the story of the game and also creating the website/forums for the team, and now is working at this character, that is still work in progress:
And some old work that will be remastered later:
And a concept art he put together, for the team to get a better look of the in-game mood of the game.
He is no concept artist.
George:
And here you can see our first zombie that George is currently working at.
Alexspw:

As we mentioned on the website we will pay everyone according to there work and time investment in the game as soon the game will be ready and sold. We'll make a contract on this terms. For now we just work with passion completing this game and make something successful worthy of calling a horror game those days, each one of us working on royalty now
If you just write everything is on my website and give us your email, that alone wont say much about you. We need also to know how much interest you have for a project like this.
Thank you for understanding.

On another news, the game story script is now finished, it will impress anyone away, after knowing how dramatic the story is, and what horror expects our protagonist.
Also we just want to mention that now the game project is registered on the indied DB.
http://www.indiedb.com/games/them-us
We have a few new members in the team. 2 new talented music & sound composers that worked for a few games company and movies productions. And a new environment artist.
We want also to say that our lead programmer that works with us is none other than the guy that finished [ by himself ] the whole remake of the resident evil 2 game on the UDK engine. That means we have strong point of view that we will not fail with this game and finish it.
We need now (unreal development kit) level designers and animators to create the intro of the game and also put our protagonist in-game.

http://www.indiedb.com/games/them-us
I will post here as well:
Hi everyone,
Two more month have passed. But the team did not sit around.
Please welcome our new talented 3d environment artist, Eprdox, he has been working very hard creating a few main assets for the game.
George has started to work on the zombie female class, yes that is correct, we will have female zombies as well.
Also, Vlad decided to start level designing again, after 11 years, that's right, creating a level design to show you that we don't have only game ideas, we also can put things in action.
It been long from the time he didn't made any level designs, so he is a bit rusty in this field.
Shots from the level, and the horror that awaits our protagonist.
Please note the UDK statue is just a holder, it will be replaced later by something very beautiful, but we want to keep it secret! Also big thanks to Arkadius, and Loading for the nice assets like, gate, trash, bench, wall lamps, that helped the level shine more.
Also Vlad did some 3d animations to Alicia, you can see here:
[ame]
Now we have a new 3d animator in the team, doing some animations for the main character. Stay 2nd for some new & better animations later. We still need 2 more animators to rig and animate the female zombie so we can put this dear inside the game, but they will come in time, we hope.
Last of not least our programmer Rod Lima, made some very nice additions to the game, like placing the character inside the game, adding flashlights, and recently the first enemy. See here:
As an addition to the game we are making, we are going to bring you the old school jump scarred camera into the game, not only the 3rd perspective view, code is already done.
Player can select the gametype he/she wants, after finishing the game.
We look forward to hear from you what kind of style you like best?
Well perhaps this will be our last news for now, please wait for us to release a demo for kickstarter, and support the project, so we can continue working and working.
Best Regards from,
Tendogames team
Right now myself I am currently working brick by brick the mansion level once again and I have a lot of fun
