Man is the Warmest Place to Hide
Man is the Warmest Place to Hide is a revised and updated version of my 200 Word RPG 2019 entry, a micro-LARP for 5+ people based on John Carpenter's 1982 movie The Thing. It's a short-ish party game about assimilating, distrusting, and ultimately murdering your friends and coworkers to try and prevent the spread of an unknowable alien creature.
