''The Starship Damrey'' is a downloadable Nintendo3DS horror-adventure game created by Creator/{{Level 5}} as part of the ''Guild02'' series. It was released in Japan on March 27, 2013, and in North America and Europe on May 16, 2013. On May 17, 2013, a sequel called ''The Starship Damrey Chapter II'' was announced for worldwide release on May 16, 2014, alongside a third game called ''The Starship Damrey Chapter III'', to be released May 17, 2015.

The premise is simple: You awaken from cryo sleep on the Starship Damrey, only to find yourself unable to leave your pod. By controlling a robot, you are able to traverse the ship, and as you try to find a way to leave the cryo-pod, you slowly begin to uncover the truth behind the events on the Starship Damrey. But a mysterious figure stalks the halls of the ship, hinting that you may not be alone...

The game contains no tutorials and no explanations, both as a throwback to adventure games of old and as a way to illustrate how truly lost you are on the ship.

!!This game provides examples of:
* TheAlcoholic: Bobby drinks frequently, according to the captain's notes. You can even find a bottle of whiskey hidden in his room.
* AnAxeToGrind: AR-08 attacks you with an axe when you try to get through the storage room. [[spoiler:You defeat it by throwing hot oil on it.]]
* [[spoiler:BolivianArmyEnding]]: [[spoiler:Nick has to defeat the Keplarian, which he doubts that he can do. And he only has one hour to do it, and then the ship self-destructs. His fate is left unclear.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** [[spoiler:Examining one of the beds tells you, "Sleep is important for humans." This hints that you aren't a human.]]
** [[spoiler:You aren't one of the crew. Since you know Keplarians are on board, there's only one thing you could be.]]
** [[spoiler:Abdul tells you that a Keplarian went crazy. But since the Keplarian you meet only escapes its pod after he dies, there has to be another one on the ship.]]
* JumpScare: This game certainly loves them.
** When you find Bobby's body, you're moving down a hallway and then BAM there it is.
** After you leave the common room for the first time, the Mysterious Girl pops up ''right in your face''. [[spoiler:It turns out this was orchestrated by Nicolas to try to freak you out and get you to stop exploring the ship.]]
** "You are not authorized to investigate this locker." [[spoiler:Abdul falls out the locker into your face.]]
* [[spoiler:HeroAntagonist]]: [[spoiler:Nick is impeding your progress, but it's because he wants to protect humanity from you.]]
* NiceHat: The Mysterious Girl wears a rather awesome hat. It also hides most of her face.
* TheReveal:
** [[spoiler:After you finally unlock your cryo-pod, a Keplarian hand reaches out.]]
** [[spoiler:After the credits, it is revealed that Second Lieutenant Nicolas Weaver is still alive, and has been controlling AR-08, the crane, and the Mysterious Girl.]]
* ShoutOut: To ''TwoThousandAndOneASpaceOdyssey''. [[spoiler:In the epilogue, SAM tells Nick he is not authorized to cut the Keplarian's connection to AR-07 in a manner similar to HAL's famous quote.]]
* [[spoiler:TomatoInTheMirror]]: [[spoiler:You are actually a Keplarian who was trapped in the cryo-pod. It was ''you'' who killed the crew of the Starship Damrey.]]
