The Ship in September
Posted by Björn April 24, 2006
Mindscape has announced that "The Ship" is now scheduled to be released in September.
"The Ship originally began life as a Half Life Mod and is now being crafted as a full single and multiplayer game in its own right by Edinburgh-based Outerlight, a talented and experienced team of coders and artists.
Blending traditional first and third person gameplay with a Sims-style day-to-day needs system - including food, sleep and social interaction - The Ship offers exploration, investigation, survival, stealth, intrigue and murder across beautifully crafted decking and highly-polished interactive environments.
On the Poop Deck, The Ship proudly boasts a number of modes of gameplay including Arcade Mode offline and Hunt, Elimination, Deathmatch and Duel, all online.
The Ship's gameplay revolves around 'the Hunt'. The rules of the Hunt are simple. Each player is given the name of one of the other contestants on-board and must hunt them down and kill them with any weapon they can find. Depending on the game mode, either the last hunter alive is the winner or the one with the most money in their bank account wins."
