The SHIP Game Windows Vista PC
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.
The Needs System
On board the Ship you have needs, just like in real life and you neglect them at your peril. Keep an eye on your needs icons. These are displayed on your HUD as a particular need becomes pressing and change colour from green through to red as a need becomes more urgent. You can satisfy your needs at locations all over the Ship.
Security on board The Ship There is security on board in the form of guards and cameras, who protect the unsuspecting passengers who share the Ship with Hunters. The security team enforces the ships laws, the primary law being no murder, so don't get spotted!
Passenger Identities
You will see your own name at the bottom right of your screen. Your Quarry's name is displayed at the top left. Everyone on board the Ship has a name but the most interesting person to you is your Quarry...
How to Hunt your quarry
The rules of the Hunt are simple. Each of you is given the name of one of the other contestants on board, your Quarry, and you must Hunt them down and kill them with any weapon you can find on board. Depending on the game mode, either the last Hunter left alive is the winner or the Hunter with most money in their bank account wins. As well as having someone to Hunt, you have another player hunting you, your Hunter, so keep looking over your shoulder if you want to stay alive.
Customise your character's Outfit The Ship offers a great deal of opportunity for players to customise their character. You can change your outfit and your hairstyle and if you look different enough your Hunter and Quarry may not recognise you next time they see you.
Exploration on The Ship
To be successful in the Hunt you need to know your way around the Ship's in Mr X's fleet. Each Ship has its own secrets including hidden rooms, passages and tunnels, extra weapons in special locations, environmental traps and triggers and extra special ways of murdering your quarry. To win, you need to explore thoroughly and use your imagination to find the hidden extras on board each Ship.
When to go to the Sick Bay
Each Ship in Mr X's fleet has a sick bay and psychiatrist to heal injured and counsel traumatised players.
How to use Money on The Ship
You will arrive on board the Ship with a generous £2,500 holiday allowance in your bank account and £250 cash in your pocket. You will need cash to pay for food, drink, clothing, items from shops and to bribe security staff so it's a good idea to keep some cash on you. However, if you are murdered successfully by your Hunter, you will lose all the cash you have in your pocket. Money in your bank account is safe, even if you are murdered so it's a good idea to bank any cash you find or which you are given by Mr X for a successful murder.
