For PC gamers who enjoy multiplayer games with a bit of intelligence, intrigue and ingenuity, The Ship is a murder mystery alternative to traditional FPS multiplayer games. Each player is given a Quarry to kill - and must evade their own Hunter in the process, all set on board a series of 1920s art deco cruise ships.
The Ship is owned by the mysterious Mr X and as one of many 'lucky' recipients of a free ticket you arrive on board The Ship to find there's a catch to your luxury cruise. You are coerced into a brutal Hunt to indulge Mr. X's fantasies, under threat of death for not only yourself, but also your family. Your only chance to save yourself and your family is to play the Hunt and win.
Combining stealthy multiplayer action and a needs system, The Ship is a truly unique gaming experience.

Every passenger aboard is trapped in a twisted game where survival depends as much on observation and patience as it does on pulling a trigger. The central mechanic is brilliantly simple yet endlessly entertaining. Each player receives a target to eliminate while another participant is assigned to hunt them. This creates an ever-present atmosphere of tension where no encounter feels entirely safe. A seemingly harmless guest standing near a staircase may be waiting for an opportunity to strike, while the person casually following you through a dining hall could be your assigned hunter. Unlike most first-person games that reward aggressive play, The Ship encourages restraint. Timing, positioni…
