Spit when you’re done
Here we are, the final voyage of 2024.
This is the last advent calendar entry of PC gaming website Rock Paper Shotgun.
Days elapsed: 24.
Writers employed: 8.
I hope this hurts.
It’s short and unsettling sci-fi horror gameMouthwashing.
Everything that happens afterwards to the five crew members aboard this long-haul cargo ship is your fault.
A troubled medical officer, a disgruntled engineer, a naive intern.
The food is running out and everyone is constantly bickering.
None of this will end well.
But at least there is a cargo hold full of mouthwash!
And, as it turns out, some of those events happened before the ship even crashed.
This is one neat trick of the game.
Before the crash, the captain (your character) seems under pressure, but ultimately optimistic.
It’s hard to see why he would crash the ship on purpose.
After the crash, you play as co-pilot Jimmy, who now has to keep the crew alive.
That includes feeding the injured and incapacitated captain his painkillers.
I don’t want to spoil any more of the story.
I’ve done that already ina massive post about the characters.
Look, I’ll help, don’t sweat it.
Never mind all that.
I’ll take care of it.
Every waft of mouth air?
Thats all Ill say!
