Developer Four Funnels Entertainment is completely reconstructing every nook and cranny of the most infamous cruise liner in history and turning that into one massive video game level.

Titanic: Honor and Glory will encompass the entire five-day trek of the ship across the Atlantic with an eye for extreme historical accuracy.

The team has launched a successful crowdfunding project before. The money they've raised went to consulting experts--including history professors, authors, and even Titanic wreck divers. Together they've already rebuilt about 1/4 of the huge ship in Unreal Engine 4.

They're asking for $250,000 to help move the project forward. That might sound like a lot, but the team feels that the final cost of the game will eventually cross the $1,150,000 mark.

In addition to simulating the ship, Four Funnels wants to recreate the city of Southampton, where the Titanic began its voyage, and each of the 2,200 people that were on the cruise liner.

According to the developer's plans for the project, players onboard will try to stop a fictional murderer and solve mysteries throughout the journey until the cruiseliner begins to sink and the game opens up into a "free-roam, collapsing super-level which is nearly 900 feet long and 12 stories tall."
