[[caption-width-right:250:There certainly is [[EldritchAbomination something wrong]] with that ship.]]
''The Horror at MS Aurora'' is an InteractiveMovie type adventure game with horror elements. The game was made by Sweden-based 12 O'clock Studios and, according to the developer, it aims to be "an intense and immersive experience, no longer than your average friday-night horror flick". It draws a lot of its inspiration from HPLovecraft.
The game's story centers around NonActionGuy Frederick Kirk, who has just signed on as first mate on the cargo ship MS Aurora together with [[FourIsDeath three others]]: [[TheCaptain Daniel Lindstrand]] (the ship's captain), [[CoolOldGuy Douglas Olsen]] (the engineer) and [[BigFun Kenneth Pedersen]] (the cook and medic). The plot starts out slow enough, but eventually hell quite literally breaks loose and Kirk ends up having to [[RunOrDie run for his life]].
The gameplay mechanics are heavily centered around [[PressXToNotDie quick time events]].
----
!!This game provides examples of:
* EldritchAbomination: It's never explicitly stated, but it is very likely that the the titular Horror is this.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: [[spoiler: The Horror knocks over a large console that lands on Kirk's arm. The sun is setting and Kirk quickly realizes that his only choice is to cut off his own arm so that he can escape certain death.]] The result is [[{{Squick}} not pretty.]]
* {{Squick}}: The aftermath of [[spoiler: Douglas' very loud and very messy death]] can be seen quite clearly when Kirk opens the door to the engine room. As Kirk puts it: [[spoiler: ''"Oh God... he's... all over the place..."'']]
* WeakenedByTheLight: [[spoiler: The Horror does not like bright light.]] This, in turn, becomes the only way to survive in the end.
