Under the Skin
A downloadable game
A quiet life dashed as the crew of a middle-of-nowhere pitstop are caught in-between two groups of distraught and paranoid survivors, each carrying their own secrets.
A forest fire trapping all within the outpost, the only escape a small battered ship. Smoke, distrust, and impending violence billows through the the air.
Amidst the tension, something stalks, kills and replaces. A perfect mimic, but under its skin...

A one-shot adventure inspired by the 1982 cult classic film The Thing, where even players may be the monster without realizing. A host of paranoid and suspicous NPCs both serve as suspects and replacement PCs should a player be taken or be revealed to have been replaced.

This is great. I definitely had an itch for a mothership module inspired by The Thing. Such a great concept.
It will definitely be a challenge for me to run it without revealing too much too early. But I'm exited to try it out.
Also I have found two minor typos. Hope this is helpful:

Heya! Thank you for spotting those! I've fixed 'em!
Oppertunistic (pag 6), Crewmemberss (pag 9)
Wanted to let you know that this is currently categorized as a Book and not a Physical Game here on Itch, which is probably hiding it from a lot of folks!
Noted, thank you! This has been fixed for both Under the Skin and VR-Dead!
