Spacestation 13

You are one of the crewmembers of SS13. Spacestation 13 is a research station where really odd stuff will happen. Cluwnes might cause havoc, wizards could appear and steal your clothes, traitors will try to assasinate people, aliens could start spawning and the researchers might accidentally unleash a virus upon the entire station. Thats the "normal" stuff. Feces really hit the fan when a Cluwne virus breaks out or people get turned into Chimps or when everybodies butts starts farting uncontrollably and fall off which people can make buttbots out of or wear them as asshats or bake asstburgers. Goons are really odd people.

At the start of every game you can choose what you start as. Your proffession can go from a lowly assistant to the captain of the spacestation. You will then be in charge of certain tasks. The quartermaster will have to buy supplies and possibly sell off stuff. Scientists will have to do science to gain research funding. The Head of Personnel has to appropriate funds between departments and rally the assistants. This is also the guy you want to go to incase you want to switch jobs. o7 m8

Almost every game has a traitor unless the gamemode has been altered. The most fun in the game comes from the traitor, he has the biggest responsbility. The traitor will have to try and complete his objectives without drawing attention to him. He has to be very creative to complete his tasks. An example would be causing a fire in medical by using a plasma canister, a weapon to break open said canister and a blowtorch. Or detonate a bomb, whatever works. It is best to try and kill or incapacitate your victims that are not your primary target stuffing them inside a closet without a radio works best just don't forget to weld it shut. You can dispose of bodies by gibbing them or throwing them out into space. This will make sure Genetics doesn't clone the victim so he can rat you out.

You can go on EVA if you so desire or require. To EVA you need internals like oxygen masks and an oxygen container. Do not forget to turn the valve open or you will suffocate. On the rest of your body you want a helmet and a spacesuit or you will get very cold, very quick. There are other stations like the mining base and station Zeta. There are some abandoned stations and asteroids you can explore with loot and mobs.

Here are some screenshots of the new version of the game but there is an old one that is still active. I will tell you what happened on the game that was using the old engine called BYOND.





After finding a video about this game in my recommended videos on YT I decided to try this game.
I did not actually get to play because I went onto Dayz mod after the round ended but I did spectate a little bit. Not sure what I saw but the admin spawned some type of christmas tree with a wooden leg and a green jacket with some very scary music. Some bombs did go off and parts of the station was venting heat and oxygen. Meanwhile a traitor was stunning people with his tazer and beating them to death with his fire extinguisher.

The escape shuttle was already called by the captain so all the survivors grouped around the escape arm. When the shuttle arrived the traitor climbed aboard and started killing everyone. The round was looking grim for the station crew but out of a puff of smoke a high wizard appeared and grabbed the traitor passively and concussed him with a magic missle. The traitor who was stunned on the floor then got a fireball to the face and was incapacitated. One of the survivors woke up and removed the breather and the helmet from the traitor. He then threw him into the airlock and spaced him. The wizard then used an ID card he stole to launch the shuttle early. He then exlaimed how high he was because he smoked weed that was grown by the botanists. Weird first round spectating.

The traitors job was to assasinate a specific person and leave with the escape shuttle alone. He succeeded in killing the guy but not escaping so the crew won. The other traitor was killed before he could complete his objectives.

Here is a very long video in the old game about a botanist traitor. I enjoyed watching it. Seemed very franctic but there is logic to his madness. Kind of.

Seems like a very nice indiegame that is supposedly free. The old game was and still is free to play without any payments what so ever. I think the game might feel laggy though. Not sure as I only used a ghost to spectate before actually trying to play. The new game looks very nice. Kind of reminds me of Xenonauts with the 2D art style. Overal, the things you can do in the old game makes me wonder why more games cannot be like this game. The new one cannot come fast enough.

To end here is the latest dev video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nMlihQXEBw


EDIT: Beware of the Janitor. By the time you see him it is already too late.

By the fact the game has 1 traitor, it's alot like the game Parasite on Warcraft 3, sounds fun

On parasite you all picked your character, then it would make one of you a parasite and you had to kill everyone without them knowing its you, and if you died you lost, but if you did get discovered you turned into a more powerful monster

was fun

Something in the lines of that is the Changeling. He has to knock out someone and absorb him but that takes time. The Changeling can then take the form of the person he absorbed. I take it that the Changeling can only morph into a person every couple of minutes, I was interested in looking for a video about the creature.

There can be multiple traitors per round. The traitor can take the ID card from a person and buy a voice changing mask so he can take over someones identity. Adding to that is taking the victims clothes and spacing the body. If you do it right, no one will even know he's dead. And maybe even suspect, the by now, dead victim. So changing back to your previous identity will keep you safe during the shuttle escape.

Definitly going to try a round tonight. Not going to try traitor just yet.
