Story & Setting
The setting is a crippled freighter where the crew confronts starvation, isolation and each other, with Captain Curly unable to speak or move freely. This bleak backdrop frames the narrative’s focus on survival and interpersonal tension.

Narrative Elements
Psychological scares are mentioned, with the line “Your eyes are lying” suggesting that visual perception may be unreliable within the story. This encourages players to question what they see.
The narrative is described as unforgiving, urging players to “Hope to die, or for goodness sake, pray that everyone else did,” which frames the experience as a moral and emotional challenge.
- When visuals feel off, pause and reassess the scene.
- Reflect on the emotional weight of each decision.

Resource Scarcity
