CRAVE
A downloadable game
In 21XX, Generation Ship: Dragon’s Shadow launched from its dying home in search of new horizons. GS:DS is secretly ferrying a small clan of vampires who rely on the short-lived colonists to slake their eternal thirst on their long trip to a sunless world. You are one of these vampires. Your centuries on this ship have been luxurious but grow dull.
Drifting in the void, far from the light of any stars, a concerning fervor has gripped a few of the mortals who babble about the Ancients of the Deep Beyond. More than one colonist has turned up dead, brine inexplicably filling their lungs.
Something has plans for the people on this ship. Maybe you’ve grown to care for the mortals. Maybe you’re worried about your food supply. Maybe you just don’t like competition. In any case, only the vampires on Dragon’s Shadow can push back against the Deep Beyond.

I love this so much. The pseudocode style is really easy to follow (I mean, at least for me – I’m a software engineer by day) and the whole game is jam-packed with space horror goodness.
