I didn't write this description, I got it from a thread on Facepunch
Space Station 13 is a multiplayer game where you roleplay the part of an astronaut who works a company named Nanotransen. Basically, they made this kick-ass space station that has an AI computer, engine, thrusters, and all kinds of real functional stuff. The graphics aren't good, but they're not supposed to be.
In this game you do whatever you want. (Unless the server admin's an asshat.)
There are usually twenty-ish people in a server on a good game and they all have a niche. You're supposed to do your job rather it be security officer, repair technician, or captain. There's even an Artificial Intelligence job (Which is my favorite.) One of the best things about SS13 is the ability to mod the living hell out of it.
You can do all kinds of stuff on SS13. Rather it be steal an escape pod and fly to Command Central in space or play the role of a mercenary and slowly pick off every member of the crew (Via stunning them and snapping their necks or muzzling them and welding them in a locker), eventually taking over the ship, it's almost always fun. A neat job if you know what you're doing is DNA researcher. You can turn yourself into a superhuman who can't die or who can breathe in space.. Turn yourself into a monkey.. etc. But don't expect to know this, I don't even know how to do DNA yet.
Basics:
To grab something, double or single click it when near it. To move, arrow keys. To open something like a locker, click it when next to it. To attack someone, doubleclick them many times. (But you may want to go to the top right corner and set intent to harm.)
To put clothes or something else on, you need to grab it, and put it on the appropriate slot. For example, blue jumpsuit goes on internal uniform. Fire suit goes on external.
Stuff to do: In SS13 there are modes of play. Custom modes can be mode, but the classics are good too.
Extended: This is normal mode. You just stroll around and do your job.. Or if you want, build a bomb and blow up the station. Which-ever you like.
Traitor: There's a traitor among the crew. You're supposed to find them and kill them. Heck, you might get lucky and get to be the traitor once in a while. It'll give you an objective like steal an escape pod or steal a space shuttle, or assassinate the captain/a certain crewmember, or just plain blow up the entire station.
Meteor: There's a meteor shower on SS13. Escape on the shuttle or you get meteowned.
Monkey: A rare, mutigenous virus has infected some crewmembers and it turns them into monkeys. If they bite you, you get it. You have to fend them off and escape on the shuttle. This is what zombie mode is to other games, but with evil monkeys.
Blob: One of my favorite modes of all time. There's a blob somewhere on the ship which is constantly growing and if it touches you, you die. If it's on the engine you can eject the engine, if it's anywhere else you have to start a fire or escape on the shuttle or on an escape pod. Sometimes in extended Nanotransen will deliver this blob to you in a welded package, and tell you it's super dangerous and not to open it. If you do, blob is freeeeeee.
