While investigating the enigmatic deaths of American scientists in the Antarctic, a military rescue team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of the people it kills. As the team leader, you must forget everything you ever learned about obliterating aliens simply with a barrage of violent ammunition--this monster is difficult to see, hard to kill, and seemingly impossible to evade. In the midst of this lurking terror, you must convince your squad to cooperate and complete tasks essential to both the success of the mission and your own survival.

Should I stream The Thing on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 117 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. None of the 117 people watching The Thing are watching in English — every live stream is in another language, so there is nobody here for an English broadcast to reach.

None of the 117 viewers here are watching in English — every live stream is in another language, so there is nobody for an English broadcast to reach.

Only 0 of the 117 viewers here (0%) are watching in English. 0 of the 1 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

Is The Thing too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming The Thing, every one of them in another language — so the room is quiet because there is nobody here for an English broadcast to reach, not because it is waiting for you.
