A CRUISE NOWHERE
(Yeah, it's also a bit over the top, but that is how things should be)
Features:
- First-person survival horror adventure gameplay inspired by old-school classics like Resident Evil, Realms Of The Haunting and Clive Barker's Undying!
- Fight or flee! Use those legs of yours, running is always an option, or use your trusty guns to put the hurt where it's most needed!
- Inventory Management! Drop useless items in favour of hopefully useful items, shoot carefully to conserve your ammo and you may live to tell the tale!
- Puzzles to keep that flesh PC of yours vigorous and provide sanity boosts!
- Darkness and endless hallways aboard a classical passenger cruiser! Remember to use your flashlight!
- Cosmic horror and beings from beyond are unleashed in this thrilling tale of existential dread! Also there are nazis and sorcerers and more peculiar things aboard this cosmic tangle of a tale.
Known issues
- Various minimal UI issues (text in reader is wonky and floats to the left for example, inventory is sometimes oversized)
- Safe Puzzle may some times bug - just cancel out and try again and it should work
- When completing the demo, the mouse is not visible after returning to menu, just alt-f4 to quit then
If you encounter any new issues please comment here! Would appreciate that a lot.

this is one of the better horror games ive played on itch , got scared a bunch . i had fun playing it for sure lol
Thanks a lot for playing and thank you for making a video!
Very cool! Thank you for the video and comments. I intend to make a patch for the demo latest beginning of next week to rectify most glaring issues - in addition to developing content for the full release.
Pretty okay, like the graphical style/music/enemies. Noticed some bugs/issues though:
BUGS
- For some reason I had a second "Wet paper note" in my inventory after dying and restarting
- Mouse cursor appeared after pressing ESC to see the menu and stayed on screen after closing the menu, after this happens you can't turn the camera properly (Workaround: open the inventory and close it and the cursor disappears for a quick fix)
- Some words in texts have an underscore after them, for example the "Old Note" has "but it's actually somehow_changing reality around us"
- Enemies get stuck on chairs sometimes
ISSUES
- The game tells you to press E to interact with objects in the "tutorial" dream even though you've already had to have pressed E to open the door at the beginning (maybe move the message to the first door and remind people about E at the second door)
- After escaping from enemies by entering a room the player might be doomed if the enemies are right behind the door and players don't have a lot HP left as they swarm the player right after going back into the same room with the enemies (maybe put enemies on a small cooldown timer so they can't move when leaving a room so they can't instagib a player, give the player invulnerability for 0,5 seconds after exiting a room or return enemies to their original starting positions after a while for example)
-Maybe buff the snacks a little, they give very little HP compared to medkits
- It's annoying to play the "tutorial" over and over again after dying (a skip button that appears in the bedroom after completing this section at least once would be nice)
- The pistol needs a reload sound, weird to hear nothing
WISHES
- More music, a bit repetitive to hear one song all the time
- More props on the map, maybe mats or different kinds of seats etc.
- Save function, maybe something like typewriters from Resident Evil that fits the game's setting
Okay, thanks a lot for the comment!
