Mush was [1] a browser-based free-to-play multiplayer game by the French company Motion Twin.[2] The game was first available in French on 14 January 2013.[3][4] From August 2013, the English version of the game was in closed beta phase, which ended before 5 November 2013 when the game went live.[5][6][7]

The plot of the game, wherein an alien entity (the titular "Mush") takes over some of the 16 people on a spaceship and the players attempt to uncover their identities, has been compared to John Carpenter's 1982 film The Thing.[5][8]

As of 24 November 2023, the publisher's website reported that the game was no longer available.[9]
