Character selection -- rifle through their ID cards

Setting the scene

Introducing a protagonist in an in-game cinematic

Interrogation prompt

As you can see, no detail was overlooked in the layout of this vessel. Soon, unfortunately, the whole boat will become one big water closet.

The foreshadowing -- it's almost as if the characters knew what was about to hit them!

Ker-blammo! This is what hits them.

Cabin now upsidedown, strewn with corpses -- and do mind the falling furniture!

The sinking ship tilts to one of its subtler angles

Acrobatic deeds of derring-do -- just to navigate the wreckage + get around, we're forced to dangle from upside-down staircases.

Interacting with survivors -- if you live long enough to encounter any!

Motivating survivors to make an escape attempt.

Leading survivors to safety plays a surprisingly major role -- you need to tap into some of their specialised skills.

As if all this water wasn't bad enough -- you also have /fire/ hazards to contend with!

Going from bad to worse

Great, now the lights are out!

A hard landing (longer than four player-heights) will cost you valuable time

The only final death is after the fateful hour is up, but burning, drowning and falling all diminish the remaining time available.

We don't just stroll the luxury quarters -- your travels take you into the very guts of the ship.

Did the Prince of Persia ever find himself trapped in an executive-class bathroom? If I can't reach the door out, it's ultimately no less fatal than a spike-trap.

Buried at sea...

but what a grave marker!
