☾ THE CRADLE PROJECT ☽
Captain's Log: October 26th, 2205.

It's gotten worse. Much... much worse. We should have listened to Ramirez and put up a better defense system. The lower rung's cleared out, we... we lose every group we send down there to investigate almost immediately. They're infiltrating the levels and people, the crew members and passengers... They're all at each other's throats. All anyone can think about is, uh, s, survival. Watched Jameson get gunned down this morning. He had some kind of stash of supplies they wanted, don't know what for, so they took him out. It's brutal out there. It doesn't stop. They drag us into the vents now. Can't use the air vent system to hide, either. Screams echo out the system all night now. Poor bastards. There is no safe way to travel. It's just, it's me and First Cadet Monroe up here, a couple groups in the level below us, I think. Seen 'em on the cameras. Whatever those things are, they're quick, and smart. Caught one of them inspecting the camera, tapping on the lens and whatnot. ...It pulled one of the civilians into an air vent and I just remember-- n, never mind. Point is: this is going to be my last log. The level between us and the lower one is on its last legs and then it's just me and Monroe. Locks won't hold forever. They already slither around past night fall through the air vents and-- fuck it, fuck it. Captain Perkins, final log aboard the Pygmalion.

The Cradle Project is a short term sci-fi murder mystery game set in deep space. It operates the same as a game of Mafia. Characters are awoken on the abandoned ship called The Pygmalion. The crew and passengers were brutally slaughtered by an unknown life form, leaving the computer system to operate on it's own. Programmed to save humanity at any cost, the AI has awoken characters and is performing a scan by weeding out the unworthy -- those too incapable to survive will be terminated. Survive the game, and return to your own body, or die trying.
