The Ship is a game where you play one of several hundred(?) passengers on a luxury liner. You won your ticket in a lottery but you are given a mission by a mysterious Mr X - your mission is to kill some one else on the ship. At the same time someone else has been given the mission to kill you... And so the hunt goes round in circles...
When you die you go to sick bay to revive and it costs you money to do so. When you kill your target you get bonus money. When you kill indiscriminately you get penalisd money. In most game modes, the player with the most money wins the round.
At the same time, you character needs to satisfy a lot of sim type needs: social chat, toilet etc etc.. Alsom there's lots of different clothing and accessories on the plane to disguise yourself with. But your quarry can also use them....
Sounds Awesome..! They have more than 1 ship map...
The price has been cut to [color=#FF0000]$5 ONLY on Steam so i think i might try it...
what do you guys think?
They obviously cut hte price to get the multiplayer base up -- then they will issue patches and sequels and charge people for it... theres bound to be mor eof these cops robbers traders style games coming.. there are npc guards on the ship who will stop u killing someone. but the game says they may let players play the guards sometime... !
