Description


Your cruise was so relaxing until the monsters from another dimension showed up to kill everyone. Fight them off, manage your resources effectively, and convince scattered survivors to join your efforts.



Supernatural forces have overwhelmed a cruise liner called Hope with mysterious monstrosities. Fight them off as one of four unlikely heroes.



Manage your scarce resources effectively, and convince scattered survivors to fight alongside you. You’ll need them for any hope of escaping this “vacation” alive.



Traverse all 20 decks to unlock the mysteries of the Hope. Think several steps ahead during each battle, plotting the optimal use of each character’s action points.



Your weapons, bandages, and other items deteriorate, and your resources are very limited. Make sure your companions rest, or panic may overtake them.

Oh… And expect to die. A lot.

A Turn-Based Team RPG in an Eerie World

This is a turn-based role-playing game set on a cruise ship disappearing into the realm of Dread. It turns into a 20-level maze. Everyone lost to the maze will reappear the next day, never knowing what happened. Everyone but you. Finding yourself at a safe place every morning, you retain your memories and items*. So, you begin your quest to understand what happened (IS happening)—and stop it. There are others trapped aboard the ship: bright and peculiar personalities. If you guess their agenda while chatting, you have a chance to convince them to join you. The agenda is not always straightforward: ex., some despise flattery or personal questions. Once they join, you can take them along to clear ship decks, one by one. You can lead up to 2 other members, and the party is fully controllable. You are the key character, and with your death everything and everyone gets lost (we're not playing on 'Easy', are we?). It is very weapon-centric; there's only 1 non-weapon slot, it may have either an enhancing accessory or some armour. The item system has rarity, like in Diablo. There are immunities and resistances to weapon types (may become curious tow. endgame; like, "immune to everything from the front"), so having a diverse array of adequately powered weapons is the key. Pros: — Hardcore and definitely not easy; — Interesting resource management. You want healing? Repair a weapon or armour? Level up? Pay up! — The tactical situation has enough complications to be interesting. Gradually throws in new mechanics and enemies, giving a different feeling; — Fun weapons, mysterious story, creepy monsters, serene music and the perpetual storm contribute to the atmosphere. Cons: — Interface problems. 'Esc' not working as expected. Easy to miscast a weapon or a skill; — Monster tactics are somewhat primitive; — The Russian translation is horrid and can't be switched off; Recommended to: turn-based RPG lovers; Not recommended to: guns-blazing fast-action fans. There is none here.

it's not a tactics game & it's fine

more like an action board game w/some light tactics, but that doesn't mean the combat doesn't get challenging... it's just more about picking the right items or powerups to use & using your movement points to get out of the way of enemy attacks (as the game doesn't use defensive posture but does use flanking & back attacks for extra damage). the fun is building up your base & upgrading items, getting survivors to join you & uncovering the story. it's light, but quite fun.

Tutorial bug sinks game

As a fan of turn-based strategy games who also likes love-craft-inspired horror, I am very disappointed to accounce that the first bug I encountered is the one which prevents me from playing the game in the first place. The bug in the game involves a tutorial UI which you can't click your way past it so a player is likely stuck before a first move could even be made. Had the devs fixed all the bugs like this before releasing the game, I would not likely have refunded it.
