The game entered version 1.0, becoming feature complete and playable from start to finish, on March 9th, 2021, and leaving Early Access on September 28, 2021. Originally starting out as a FanRemake of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' (predating the official remake by some time), similar to VideoGame/Daymare1998, the devs instead started work on making an original game.

Added DiffLines:

** Many of the puzzles in the early sections of the game are taken straight from the early ''Resident Evil'' games.

* EmergencyWeapon: You find a knife early on; similar to many of the earlier ''Resident Evil'' games, it ''is'' possible to kill zombies with it without taking damage, but doing so requires very advancing dodging techniques and can be risky and impractical. Mostly it's useful for breaking open barrels for extra items. You ''can'' kill zombies with it fairly reliably in First Person Mode, but there's still a small chance of screwing up and getting grabbed.

The game notably features the ability to be played either with classic old school Survival Horror fixed camera angles, or a more modern over-the-shoulder perspective (this has to be selected at the beginning of the game and can't be switched midway through a playthrough). Over-the-shoulder mode gives you much more control over movement and aiming, but there are fewer item pickups found throughout the game as a balancing measure.

* SaveToken: You need to use a vinyl record to save your game. These records can be found around the mansion, but are in limited supply (noticeably more limited than save ribbons in ''Resident Evil'').

!!Them and Us contains examples of:
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: There are some sections of the game in which you play as Paul, a private investigator also exploring the mansion.
* EmergencyWeapon: You find a knife early on; similar to many of the earlier ''Resident Evil'' games, it ''is'' possible to kill zombies with it without taking damage, but doing so requires very advancing dodging techniques and can be risky and impractical.
* {{Homage}}: The first half of the game is one to the original ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'', while the second half of the game evokes ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', right down to changing from fighting mindless zombies to fanatical robed cultists.
* MultipleEndings: The game has 5 different endings, depending on how much of the mystery you were able to solve and various actions you took.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Alicia looks great for someone who should be in their mid-to-late 30's at the very youngest.
* ResourcesManagementGameplay: Like many Survival Horror games, you have finite ammo and must decide which zombies you absolutely need to kill, and which you can leave alive since you either don't have to backtrack through their area or can reliably dodge around them. In fact there's only enough ammo in the game to kill about half of the enemies (in contrast to many ''Resident Evil'' games where you have just barely enough to kill everything on Normal difficulty, provided you search everywhere and don't miss), so you do need to manage it wisely.
* ShoutOut: The game has numerous shout outs to the Survival Horror genre.
** In the first save room you can find a snowglobe with a diorama inside depicting the first ''VideoGame/AloneInTheDark'' game.
** The secret 5th ending [[spoiler: is a comedic Shout Out to ''VideoGame/DinoCrisis'']].
