Overview
Description

In the year 2186 humanity relies on quantum black holes for energy, and you pilot the one‑man survey ship M.C.S. STARCROSS through the asteroid belt. Your mission is to locate and harness a black hole, a find that could make you rich beyond imagination. But the quiet of deep space is broken when an alarm signals an unexpected encounter—a gargantuan alien vessel from the galaxy’s outer fringes. Navigate hazards, manage limited resources, and uncover the mystery behind the alien ship in this atmospheric sci‑fi puzzle adventure.

Starship Titanic is a point‑and‑click adventure game that puts you in the role of a passenger trying to survive the chaos aboard a massive, AI‑run spaceship. The game blends humor, puzzles, and a distinctive 1990s visual style as you navigate through malfunctioning decks and eccentric characters. Developed by The Digital Village and published by Simon & Schuster, the title offers a single‑player experience on PC and Mac, delivering a nostalgic journey for fans of classic adventure games.
