Infected: Outpost

Infected: Outpost is a social deduction horror game for 2–12 players, inspired by The Thing. Stranded at an outpost, you and the other players must gather resources and try to escape, but one player is an alien threat that can shapeshift into its victims. Each map has a set number of characters, controlled by players or NPCs.

Identify the infected

NPCs walk in straight lines and cannot run or pick up items. The Infected is the only character who cannot shoot a gun, which is the only way to tell whether someone is infected. Running makes audible footsteps, while NPCs do not run, so players can try to blend in with them. The Infected cannot attack while holding an item.

Keys, flares, fuel and weapons are randomly placed in chests around the map. Dead players can spectate and switch between players.

Human objectives

Humans can win by killing the infected player or by having at least one human escape the outpost. Each extraction has different requirements involving fuel, keys and maps.

Infected objectives

The Infected can win by killing all human players or by letting the generator timer reach zero, causing the humans to freeze to death. Humans can extend the timer by refueling the generator, which the Infected must prevent.
