Gameplay[]

In the game, players assume the role of one of the surviving Antarctic scientists, trapped in a dimly-lit virtual laboratory just like the one in the film. Players must move their mobile devices 360° to defend themselves from the attacking alien creatures lurking in the shadows by incinerating them with the flamethrower. Featured creatures include the Juliette-Thing and the Edvard-Thing. The game also features an "Infect Yourself" mode, where players can use their devices' front camera to snap their photo and transform it into the Griggs-Thing.
