On behalf of the team here at Blazing Griffin, Merry Xmas! :)
We've seen a whole lot of new players join us recently and would expect to see more over the festive period, so first of all...welcome!
We posted a State of the Game announcement a few months ago which has some useful information for new players:

We will be launching The Ship: Remasted in 2016 and are pleased to announce that if you have The Ship: Murder Party in your Steam library, there will be a 25% discount on the new game at launch. Drop by the community if you have any questions:

We're also carrying out closed testing for the new game - if you'd like to get involved, you can signup on our website.
Finally, for those of you who enjoy a bit of fiction, you can follow the story of Lucille Franklin O'Sullivan who finds herself aboard The Ship.
The microsite is in diary format (start at the first entry here) and has many entries still to be posted and these are scheduled daily throughout the holiday season and well into 2016.
You can follow The Ship on Twitter and Facebook for more updates.
All the best for 2016!
- The Blazing Griffin Team
