About this game

The Ship is a unique multiplayer game. Set on a series of luxury, art deco cruise ships built by Mr X, this devilish game challenges you to kill or be killed. Once you'e on board you're given the name of another passenger whom you must find and secretly murder.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Assigned targets and personal hunters structure the murder gameplay.
Target pursuit and evasion produce unpredictable cat-and-mouse encounters.
Observation, disguise, timing, and reading others shape multiplayer play.
Period cruise-ship interiors support varied encounters and atmosphere.
Managing hunger, thirst, sleep, and other needs adds planning.

Cons

Enjoyment depends on finding a sufficiently populated server.
Unusual rules, needs, and hunting mechanics require experimentation.
Shooting and melee are less polished than conventional shooters.
The hunt-and-kill structure can become repetitive over time.
