[Japan] – October 29, 2026 – Indie developer TendoGames is incredibly proud to announce that its critically acclaimed atmospheric survival horror title, Them and Us, has officially surpassed 100,000 copies sold. This monumental milestone arrives as the game celebrates its 5th anniversary since its full release on Steam.
To commemorate these milestones and thank the global community, TendoGames has launched two massive celebrations, available right now:
1. First-Ever Big Sale OFF Sale (Ends November 2 at 10:00 AM JST)
2. Official Merchandise Store Launch: Fans can now have access to the Them and Us merchandise. The newly opened official store features exclusive physical merchandise, including themed hoodies, T-shirts, mugs, and mouse pads showcasing Alicia Wallace, Paul Evenson, and the TendoGames logo.

While major tasks like musical scores, environment arts and translations were handled by short-term freelance talents, the entire project was brought to life, maintained, and continually enhanced over the last five years almost entirely by a core team of just two people: the CEO and a single programmer. This relentless journey was made possible through the unwavering emotional and logistical support of the CEO’s wife, who stood by the team through every milestone and development hurdle. Them and Us is a true labor of love.
Since its launch, this miniature team has done the heavy lifting of a full studio—running seasonal events, providing constant performance optimizations, and introducing fresh content including brand-new costumes, characters, and modes to keep the community thriving.
"Reaching 100,000 copies as an indie studio is a dream come true, but doing it with a team of essentially two people and a supportive family makes it unforgettable," says the team at TendoGames. "We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible community who believed in our vision of classic survival horror, and to everyone who helped us push through the years. We couldn't have done this without you."
Them and Us delivers a nostalgic yet modernized survival horror experience. Heavily inspired by late-90s genre classics, the game offers an unprecedented level of player choice with its fully supported Fixed-Camera mode, modern Over-the-Shoulder perspective, and an immersive First-Person view.
Them and Us is currently available on Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG.COM and NUUVEM.
