Hi guys,

Here are the latest changes that we made for Them and Us:

1. We added an option to allow players in Fixed Camera mode to Lock-on on the enemy when aim at them. This option can be enabled/disabled by holding [Controller] LT/L2 or [Keyboard] Default: Space Bar, when aiming at enemy.

This tutorial message here will appear in-game once per New Game.


2. We added on landing point a place where players can save their game, since autosave alone was not included for (Hard, Pro difficulties). Don't forget that THEM (the followers) are looking for Alicia.

3. We added the option for players and artists around the world to create their own character and add it into Them and Us. Expect more in the future if this captivates enough interest.

As Helen Adams Keller 100 years ago said: Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

4. We added to the workshop 2 sample characters that of course anyone can download and play right now.

Them and Us - Relaunch Event

Hi guys,

I hope this announcement finds you well in this warm season!
We are happy to announce that:

1. First-Person View DLC is now included in the base game and available to everyone that has the game in their library. We hope you will like this change.

2. DX11 (BETA) version is now included and can be accessed on the launch of the game. Please know that we do not recommend you to use this DirectX if the game runs well for you. We hope this DX11 to fix some of our player's problems.

What is new in DX11?
- SSS Skin Shader for Alicia and all Enemies

DX11 known problems:

1. Tabbing out the game (Alt+Tab) will automatically go into Windowed mode if you are in Full Screen. Please press (Alt+Enter) or tab out 2 times to go into Full Screen or use the Options Menu to change back to Full Screen.

2. V-Sync doesn't respond. If you want to use this, please go to the NVidia panel to enable it manually.

3. Some of the areas may affect the frame rate much more than on DX9. Depending on the video card you are using.

Please help us to collect data from players on how DX11 performs or any problems that you may find here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/915600/discussions/0/3832045251555255507/

Last and not least Them and Us is now published mainly in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong territories by Cube Game. To celebrate this we have worked on a new DLC for all people interested in some of our Asian clothing traditions. 2 Japanese (yukata costumes) and 2 Chinese (cheongsam costumes). This DLC is going to be FREE for everyone here on STEAM for a limited time.



We hope you will like these changes. Thank you for all your support and feedback!

  • In-game interface text is legible on Steam Deck
  • This game's default graphics configuration performs well on Steam Deck

Note to players that played the game already:

If the divine chalices are not in your inventory, you need to get them once again for it to show up in the special slot. If the divine chalices are already in your inventory they will be showed now in the special slot.
