The Ship (later retitled The Ship: Murder Party) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Outerlight using Valve's Source engine. The game was released on 11 July 2006, on Steam with retail distribution in Europe and Australia in September, and 10 April 2007, for North America.[1] A playable concept for The Ship was released as a modification for the game Half-Life in 2004.[2][3]
The game is set on a 1920s recreational cruise ship. Each player is assigned a quarry, and the object is to murder them with nobody watching, while at the same time watching out for, and defending themselves against their own hunter.

Their first major project, The Ship, is a freely downloadable Half Life mod, which will expand over time into a high-specification retail product. The game is a character-based murder game where the players are encouraged - by cash rewards from the mysterious Mr. X - to do away with fellow passengers, while being careful not to be caught.
