The celebrated novella that inspired John Carpenter's landmark film THE THING is now a tabletop game! Now play as one of the original characters in this official tabletop adaptation - a suspenseful game of co-op, strategy and growing paranoia.

Other than that, I really don't know what else to say!
Now for the good stuff!
Be sure to join us tomorrow on TWITCH for a LIVE playthrough of WHO GOES THERE?! (no, that wasn't a question)
p.s. The so called "rules" can be found at the top of the Gameplay section of the campaign page. Not that you would need them.
MORE SUGAR, PLEASE!

Dang! WHO GOES THERE? has really caught on fire like an outpost when McReady has a flamethrower! This can only be attributed to all of our backers spreading the good word about the campaign like good humans in order to reach those Sugar Goats, right? I mean, you wouldn't sit idly by like the Thing...would you? Whatever it is, we're grateful. Took us just a day to scream past Clark's dog mini Sugar Goat, and we are already past $300k on our way to the Helicopter Die upgrade.
3D render and is subject to change.
I'm especially excited that we are getting to the point where the infection dial can hopefully get upgraded to the coveted slider you've been seeing in the videos. If Things keep going like they've been this week, we should make it a reality.
But be careful! If we do too well, you may be subject to a little bit of happiness and joy if we reach our Anti-Sugar Goat! I really hope you make it. Everyone else here at Certifiable, not so much, but what do they know? No matter where we end up, this has been amazing and we can't wait to get into production. Just 6 days left in the campaign!
On a completely side note, I got a preview copy of a game from another campaign that's running on KS right now, Murder at Blood Mansion. I talked to the creators last week (they are Certifiable backers since EO and wanted some advice...not sure what that says about their sanity), and was excited to check it out. Took it home and played with my family, and it was a lot of fun. They wanted to keep playing, but I have this thing called WHO GOES THERE? to work on! Anyway, if you like a quick game that's easy to learn, it may be worth checking out.
Remember to stay human! Now let's unlock those Sugar Goats so we can get to the good stuff in Anti-Sugar Goat #1!

We are ending the week on a great note for WHO GOES THERE? and the needle is moving!
We unlocked our Sugar Goat #7 and have now upgraded your locker dice. That means the 8 character pawns are next and we are well on our way! And don't forget the Social Sugar Goat! We have verified that at least 24 of you are human, and only need 14 more to unlock our dog pawn phase marker! It doesn't take much. Just do something nice for an animal shelter or adopt a narwhal if you'd like, and post it in the comments of our Facebook page. Easy, right? That is, unless you're the Thing.
We also got the results from the Collector's Coin survey. With 25% of the backers responding, 40% love the idea...51% aren't that interested...and 9% are REALLY not interested. But...since only 25% of you responded, I'm using my powers of optimism to assume the other 75% love the idea. Actually, we've learned not to be that optimistic, but we are going to add the collector's coin anyway. For those of you that think it's a terrible idea, this is even better for you, because it's money other backers are spending to get you closer to the next Sugar Goat! In the end, we really just want to do this because we want to start our own collection and give us an excuse to make an Endangered Orphans coin, too!
Think of it as $10 closer to the next Sugar Goat!
Tune in tomorrow for our KS Live playthrough with Patrick Karns, our dedicated backer that's driving a dozen hours to play WHO GOES THERE? with the Certifiable Schlubs (I really hope that doesn't catch on). But the real show will be on our Twitch channel where you'll be able to keep up with multiple cameras and stats!
Also, we were really pumped to get mentioned in Stonmaier Games newsletter, where Jamey Stegmaier talked about our Game Play Highlights video.
And we were also thrilled with the Geek & Sundry article that came out today!
We want to satisfy our Social Sugar Goat #2 before we put more out there, but wouldn't complain one bit if you wanted to share!
All in all, it's been a great week for WHO GOES THERE? and we are excited to see what the home stretch has in store! Have a great weekend, and be careful who you bunk with!

WHERE'S MY UPDATE?

We had a big weekend for WHO GOES THERE? and actually blew through the Sugar Goat unlocking the miniatures! No tortoise here, so great job! Now what? I mean, what good is a KS campaign if you don't keep getting more and more stuff, right?
I'm especially excited we unlocked Social Sugar Goat #2. You really ended up knocking it out of the park, and to me, that makes this entire campaign worthwhile all by itself. But please don't let the fact that it's unlocked deter you from contributing your own morsel of kindness. In fact, I'm pretty sure that any of you that are still willing to get out there and prove you are human may just be the most human of us all. Can we hit 50?
We have 8 more days and lots more fun to have! Keep unlocking these Sugar Goats, and there's no telling what may be in store (although I'm dying to tell)!
