Them & Us – Essential Gameplay Tips

Tips and Tricks for New Players

• You don’t want to kill every zombie. Learning to get past zombies in rooms you don’t need to revisit is incredibly helpful for success.

• Healing items are limited, but you can make each one go further by using the Ointment item. It has enough charges to combine with every healing item in the game and increases the healing output of each by a decent amount. Make sure to get this from the Bathroom early in the game and move it to the Main Hall saferoom as soon as it’s convenient to ensure you get the most out of your healing items.

• Since you don’t have any kind of item storage and only a 6-slot inventory, dropping your items in an accessible place is important.

• Zombie speeds change each time you encounter them. While some zombies usually seem to be faster than others, even the fast ones sometimes walk slowly, and the slow ones occasionally break into a dead sprint. You can reset zombies by leaving and re-entering areas, so if a zombie becomes hard to avoid due to a speed boost and you don’t have ammo to kill it, try leaving the area and coming back.

• Like the previous tip, zombies sometimes have a few different areas in a room where they can appear when you enter. Sometimes (like in the Bedroom Side Hallway), you can use this to your advantage when a zombie is blocking your path. If you leave and come back, it might not be in the same spot, allowing you to move through without fighting or dodging.

• The knife isn’t worth using in combat. If you don’t have handgun ammo (or just don’t have the handgun at all), then juking a zombie is a much better option than engaging in a melee fight with the knife.

• On higher difficulties, zombies don’t have much more health, but they get incredibly fast. This makes dodging their attacks much more difficult and forces you to kill a lot more of them, as some zombies that are safe to keep alive on Normal and Easy will pose a grave threat on Hard. Keep this in mind if you try for Hard on a second playthrough.
