Outerlight, a Scottish based game developer, would like to announce the release of their prototype of the title currently in production - The Ship - as a free downloadable Half-Life (1) mod.
Imagine a game in which you don't know who to trust, you don't know who may be about to kill you, in fact you don't even know who is human and who is artificial. Played online, your quarry is another human player but can you find them amongst the AI inhabitants of the Ship? Once you know who they are, find yourself a weapon but keep an eye out for security guards and cameras. If you're spotted trying to murder someone you'll be transported to the Brig and suffer a hefty fine. If you succeed in killing your quarry Mr. X will reward you with a cash prize, depending on how entertaining he found your murder. At the same time you must look after yourself, wash, sleep, eat and have fun and remember - always look over your shoulder because somewhere there's a player looking for you!
people i got it and tried it
its definatly worth a chance (though you have to bind some stuff right after install)
That sounds like a VERY interesting concept. I don't believe its ever been done before. It sounds like a stealthy multiplayer game with a Manhunt-esque atmosphere, but with more twists (such as not knowing who to kill).
I am just wondering how you'll end up finding out who your target is, but I'm sure that you guys have already figured that out.
I don't really play HL anymore, so I'm eagerly awaiting the full game!

Yeah sounds orginal actually it reminds me of this mod that's indevelopment (or is dead) for Quake 3. Which follows a somewhat similar concept.
:O "International Downloads will be offline until further notice, we are sorry for the inconvenience." Nooo
wooo, im in the uk!
Sounds very unique. The q3 mod you refer to was Bystander, which is very dead unfortunately. Should be fun.
