The ship

The ship is, well I suppose it's quite hard to outline what it is exactly, but I guess you can call it a first-person shooter mixed with the board game clue. It's set on 1920's era luxury liners, boats like Titanic fit right in here. There is a major twist in the game and that is that you are the killer. The game play mechanics revolve around finding your target, and bash their skull in as stealthy as possible. To achieve this you have a wide variety of face breaking weapons at your disposal, such as the poison syringe or exploding wallet. The majority of weapons are just basic melee weapons and firearms.


To make the game a bit more interesting everyone else on the ship has a target as well and while trying to assassinate your own target you have to watch out so you don't get a dagger in your back.  Every time you kill a target you are awarded with a big chunk of cash and the goal of the game is to have as much money as possible. While moving around searching for your target you have to watch out for security, in the form of guards and sometimes security cameras. If you are caught with a weapon in your hand you are given a fine and thrown in jail for a period of time. 
Even though your time in jail strips you of your entire inventory and removes you from the action for a brief period of time, the real problem is the fine since it hinders your chance to win the game.
