Evaluation
Velvet Sundown is no longer available for purchase on Steam. On September 12, 2017, one of the developers posted an official announcement explaining that Tribe Studios Ltd. was being dissolved and removed from the Finnish Trade Registry, and that the game would be shut down for good within approximately one month (with server capacity closing around October 20, 2017). The post explicitly thanked the community and described the situation as the end of the game's journey. The game is now confirmed delisted, with no purchase options available on the storefront. Tribe Studios no longer exists as a company, so no further development or revival is possible.

About this game
Jump into the role of a star and experience a new type of social gameplay!
Velvet Sundown is a social multiplayer role-playing game, taking place on a luxury yacht cruising the waters of a fictitious Caribbean state of Balbonia. Embark on a journey full of conspiracies, trickery and secrets where you can never tell a friend from foe.
In the beginning of each game you are assigned one of the 11 readymade characters at random. Each character has their own unique agenda to pursue, as well as a randomized goal to strive for. Fulfilling your objectives might not be as easy as it seems though: as everyone else has their own secrets, some of the people aboard might not be as willing to co-operate as you would like. It is up to you to use your cunning, wits and social skills to get what you want and avoid spilling your own secrets.
The scenarios are always multiplayer and require a minimum of 4 players, which means that every character you see is played by a real person. This also means completing quests always requires freeform chatting and interaction with the other characters.
Velvet Sundown is based on the Dramagame engine developed by the Finnish game developer Tribe Studios Ltd.
