Stowaway

Stowaway is a first-person social deduction game set aboard a 16th-century ship. Players take the role of Sailors or Stowaways: the crew must keep the vessel on course, while the hidden attackers try to eliminate them before the ship reaches land.

Sailors handle ship repairs and vote to remove suspected Stowaways. Stowaways start with a pistol and must conceal their identities while hunting the crew; they can also be killed by the detective.

Players can explore the ship from its crow’s nest to its lower decks. In-game voice chat works when players are in direct line of sight, making position relevant to conversations as well as movement around the vessel.

The supplied reviews include praise for the explorable ship, its pirate-era atmosphere, and the role-based deception, with one reviewer also singling out the quirky character design. Criticism focuses on few active players, bugs and incomplete features, and the lack of continued development; one review also reports matchmaking trouble and unbalanced matches.
