"They" (official typeset ""THEY") is a first-person shooter mystery video game under development by Metropolis Software. It will support DirectX 10 features and is scheduled for release in 2009.

Plot

Set in the year 2012, gamers will take the role of a soldier in England, who works with his comrade, a pilot. Terrorism has become a major problem; however, that changes when mysterious robots attack earth. The machines' intentions are unknown, and it is something players begin to gradually discover during the course of the game.

Enemies

The demonstration video revealed that some of the machines are controlled by creatures known as Phantoms, who give them a greater level of initiative and intelligence. The Phantom possessed machines are easily distinguishable from ordinary machines by their red-coloured form.

Features

The single player campaign is up to twelve hours long with a story driven setting. Multiplayer consists of deathmatch and team deathmatch missions.

One of the distinctive elements of the game is the option to modify player's weapon with the components they collect. This feature, known as the 'Weapons Tuning System', allows players to adjust their weaponry for the role they will face in the future.
