The IGN Winner: Most Innovative Design of 2006, and one of the Firing Squad's Top 5 Games of 2006, The Ship has been described as "one of the best and most innovative multiplayer games available" and as "one cross-genre game that really deserves the hype." The game blends traditional first- and third-person gameplay with a Sims-style day-to-day needs system including food, sleep and social interaction. A one-of-a-kind experience featuring exploration, investigation, survival, stealth, and murder, The Ship is a "kill or be killed" game in which 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. With the Falcon, you’ll feel every move you make, such as stabbing your target with a poison-filled needle or bludgeoning them with a mannequin arm. You’ll feel deeply immersed in the setting, as you hunt and are hunted by others, with unique control and feel of the various weapons you can find aboard.
