if one were to make a game based off of the Thing (1982), would a text adventure be appropriate?

Any discussions related to the creation of new hardware or software for the ZX80 or ZX81

curious as to what you would think
In Heck, there are two options for perpetual torment:

Eat the Puckerberry and suffer for eternity:
drink nothing but a cocktail of The Last Dab and Mexican Cake blended and served with
habanero slices

That could work. You could do it as a survival horror where you just need to escape or a ‘who dunnit’ where you need to figure who is the Thing in order to win. Or doubtless many other options.
