Maiden Voyage
Manage your ship's systems to try to keep it floating and stave off mutiny by the impatient passengers. Be prepared to fight off any unexpected sea life.
Death occurs one of two ways:
- a lapse in Hull Integrity - damaging the hull with 5 points of damage sinks the ship
- Mutiny - if passenger patience or comfort reaches zero they will mutiny you!
Boat Driving Manual:
Press <TAB> to open the menu and click "Manual" for a visual explanation of the ship's controls. Here are some details:
- Battery reaching zero will quickly deplete passenger stats. Turn on the generator and turn power consuming features to rectify.
- Icy rudder will impact steering. Use rudder defroster.
- The pink spinny thing stabilizes the boat to increase passenger comfort.
- The thermostat/cabin heater keeps passengers comfy.
- Driving too slow will reduce passenger patience.
- Two buttons operate the laser which can clear icebergs and is really your only line of defense in the face of danger.

Very cool concept! I got really carried away while trying to deliver the "unfortunate" passengers.
I'm not a fan of this kind of simulators, but it turned out to be quite exciting, I finished it somewhere on the 10th try.
The music, rain and weather perfectly immerse you in the atmosphere, and the smoothly appearing ice floes always keep you on guard.
It will be interesting to know if there are plans for the development of the game?
I really like this! my only issue is I can't beat the game - tried over 3 times and keep dying to mutiny. (Patience always goes down)
Thanks for trying so many times and sorry for the confusion. The boat/throttle has two speeds, and patience goes down when you're averaging ~7knots or less. Sounds like you just need to go a little faster to keep them happy, though this makes it harder to dodge icebergs and the engine can overheat!
pretty cool - didn't really understand - amazing graphics though
PVKK vacation style. I also wasn't expecting to actually steer that thing. Really cool!
