  • I’d love a Deathloop esque game set on the Titanic, or a Titanic facsimile where you are tasked to solve a murder or something before the ship sinks. Maybe in the first run, you try to tell the captain about the iceberg but no one believes you and you get shot. Then you’re lead to believe that solving the murder would prevent the ship from sinking only to find you were just helping someone to get closure before they died and by proxy you accept that you die with the ship.

  • I’d love to see a game where you select where you spawn at the moment of impact. If you were below deck, it’s violent, scary, and you’re drowned within minutes. If you were in the middle of the boat, maybe you have to ascend the levels and try to get to top deck to escape. If you are in the luxurious areas, it’s more of a story based drama where the tension slowly rises over the four hour sinking process.

  • I need there to be a Titanic game. What would be the premise? You’re a detective and you have been allowed on board to investigate the crew of the ship, as one of them has been suspected of a string of serial murders in Europe. Discover the truth before it’s laying on the bottom of the Atlantic.

  • Neat Titanic Facts:

    * Titanic had more lifeboats then was legally required at the time. Lifeboats were to ferry passengers back and forth from the stricken ship to a rescue ship. They were not envisioned to be able to carry and entire ship’s compliment of passenger and crew.

    * Even if Titanic had had more lifeboats, there was no time to launch them. The crew of the Titanic worked very hard to get all the lifeboats launched and the last one literally floated off deck as it went down. Many surmise that more lifeboats may have cost more lives as the unstacking and rearranging of lifeboats would have cost precious time they did not have.

    * First Class Passenger Arthur Peuchen was watching Lifeboat 6 being lowered when Quartermaster Hichens called out for volunteers. Peuchen, an experienced Yachtsman, stepped forward and climbed the ropes down about 25 feet into the lifeboat. As he did so his wallet fell out of his pocket. In 1987 a recovery team found and recovered his wallet. Still in it was his calling card, a traveler’s cheque, and some street-car tickets.
