Quick overview
30 Days on Ship is a paid survival-crafting title for PC from Madnetic Games. The game drops you onto a damaged container vessel adrift in the open ocean and challenges you to survive for thirty days using whatever you can scavenge from the ship’s many storage units.
The situation you’ll face
You wake up as a lone survivor aboard an abandoned freight ship in the Pacific. Help is expected after roughly a month, so your goal is to stay alive until rescue arrives. The environment is confined but full of unpredictable resources and hazards hidden inside locked and open containers.
Core gameplay loop
Survival depends on creativity: combine, repurpose, and adapt items found around the vessel to meet your needs. You’ll balance basic physical needs with psychological strain—hunger, hydration, injury, and also mental wellbeing from prolonged isolation. To stave off despair you can hunt for entertainment among the ship’s cargo, such as bicycles and drones, and use them to preserve morale.
Key challenges include:
- Riding out violent storms and extreme weather conditions
- Defending yourself from a handful of wild animals listed on the ship’s manifest
- Scavenging for food, materials, and tools to craft improvised gear
