I picked up this game after reading funny reviews about it.
Now I get to write one of my own
>Objective: Rough up the Bank Manager a bit to make him give you the vault code
>Easy.jpg
>Brought out my 'cutthroat razor'
>"I'll just slash him a bit"
>Walk up to him
>He shouts "You're not meant to be in here!"
>Intend to cut, accidentally hit button to throw weapon
>Razor flies into the man's face at 10000mph
>Instakilled, ragdolls into the walls like a bouncy ball
>ShitwhatdoIdoIkilledhimnowIcan'tgetthecodefromhim.png
>Pick up razor
>Objective Complete
>Somehow managed to get the code in the 0.1 milliseconds between him nearly calling security and me launching a razor into his skull
>Murder = 'rough him up' = 100% success

This game is a gem in the budget gaming community. It's mechanics are well-executed, it's gamemodes are unique and at times hilarious, and you can play its multiplayer mode offline with AI and still have it be fun—unlike a lot of games.

So, i will make it the shortest as possible, in this game you are in a luxurious ship, but now you have to survive from the other passengers, becuse you are part of Mr. X's plan. Now the good parts and the bad ones:
[h1] GOOD [h1]
[*] Nice map, it really looks like a giant ship, and you can go to almost evry room
[*] The ship looks realistic, it has all that a aluxury ship would have, and not random things.
[*] Missions are good, not funny or fun, but nice.
[*] Lots of weapons to use
[*] Good voice acting
[h1] BAD [/H1]
[*] You can only run for like 7 seconds, and the sprent bar takes 20 seconds to fill.
[*] The game is sold like a murder party, but you cannot kill almost anyone (outside missions, but not like Mr. X claims it)
[*] The ending is the most basic and bland i ever seen, just and end, nothing more.
[*] You pass most of the time on the bathroom,s
So, take your decision from here, it's a good game, looks nice, but it's a game that you will play once and then let forgotten on steam becuse there is 0 replayability, you pretty much did everything on the first run. For me it's not worth more than 2 dollars.

5.2/10 - Great if it wasn't so Tomagotchi
Good story, not super original though. Basically, you are taken aboard a ship where you and others must kill each other for survival. Last person standing gets a ticket off the boat.
The real downside for me is the "Tomagotchi" element. You have to feed, sleep, poop, entertain etc.. all while hunting down your marks.
I would love to play this with just the story and the murders. Lower marks for too much work.
Worth $3. More if you like to feed and poop things.

A fun game where you basiclly become a muderer on a ship XD you will do missions for people to help gain cash for a ticket off the ship. Lots of fun melee weps and guns. The ship single mode is, short sadly (I think only 10 missions).
Gameplay is simple and makes it easy to pick up and play.
Graphics are dated but they're not bad, nothing fancy.
If you play on hard mode be warned you will get your ass handed to ya XD

Well, ok... I buyed single player when it was on sale just to watch how the game was.
...you know, when a dlc or second version or whatever of a game is released, sometimes it is impossible to run it without the original game, and Steam clearly say it on the game page.
...not in this case. Single player doesn't work without the original The Ship multiplayer, but the two games are selled separately and nobody warns you.
This is unaccettable.

This was a fun experience :D sometimes infuriating (when having to restart a checkpoint and tending to the food/sleep/etc. cravings every time), but otherwise I liked it :> glad I have completed it.

If you can't find a server with people, or just want to practice, this is the game for you. Just be sure to buy this with the MP version as well. Happy hunting!

So this is an interesting one, and writing a review for a game that has probably been mostly forgotten seems maybe meaningless, but i think its still worth a shout out.
It's a fun game. This is specifically for the single player so I will keep the majority of my thoughts on that part of the game.
It's a game where you are a passenger on a ship in the 40's/50's who's been tasked with your fellow ship to kill one person at random, while one other shipmate hunts you. The goal, to kill and not be killed. There are guards who will catch you with weapons and lock you in the brig, making you an easy target, there are traps, plenty of different weapons, and you will constantly be looking over your shoulder.
This is a game that was designed to be multiplayer, and the single player campaign is defiantly not what came first. However, its still fun and exciting and can be surprisingly challenging. Exploring the ship while trying to find a way to escape is coll, but it is a little linear. It's not a long game by any measure, but it is great way to learn how the whole thing works and how the developers vision of a new style of multiplayer game works. It's sad it never caught on and I imagine if this had came out around the same time as "Among Us," it would have been a smash hit.
It's worth a play and i think there are still working multiplayer servers and lots of modded content as well.

This game used to be fun as heck....almost 20 years ago now. I'd still recommend it to the kiddos looking to check out what we used to play on steam legacy software.
