Death is a given in A Serene Trip. Each will come with a unique picture. This is Death #2, death by stabbing.

A Serene's Trip cook, Absalom, has a custom-made spider-chair. Wheelchair users, what special functions do you think a cook would like on their futuristic chair?

I'm going to draw a unique image for each death of A Serene Trip. One done, sixteen more to go!

Presenting the crew of A Serene Trip 5/5: Esther and Ahasuerus aren't exactly crewmembers, since they are stowaways, but they can still help Adelaide along her way!

Presenting the crew of A Serene Trip 3/5: Captain Fran is laid back and friendly, but maybe not terribly reliable...

Trailer for A Serene Trip! It's missing the music still, but it should give you a taste of the game.

It was hard to represent the first death in A Serene Trip, "Death by Snacking", but I did it!

I've integrated an achievement gallery into A Serene Trip, made by the wonderful @feniksdev.com !
I'll have to customise the screen, but playtesters can already track which death they have unlocked.

In A Serene Trip, you will find yourself embroiled in vampire politics. Will you help vampire heirs Esther and Ahasuerus or will you let them die??

First death in "a Serene trip"! You go in search of a late night snack and make an unlucky fall. If you don't have the right skills you will die in your own blood in the corridor 😈

Things are getting serious! You have been tasked with fixing the engine room of the Serene. Be careful or the ship might explode!
