Personality

Curly's personality can be described as dependable. He is a promising and ambitious man with a big future ahead of him. Over time, he grows discontent with his position, wondering if the captain is "all he ever be." He reflects on having chosen the wrong career path. Still, he cares about his friends and crewmates, not wishing to leave them behind. Respected and beloved on his ship, Curly is called a "great captain" by them. He has personal conflicts with his friend and co-pilot, Jimmy, who both admires Curly and is envious of him. He is responsible yet lenient, and his efforts to see the best in everyone leads to his overlooking conflicts on the ship. He tends to ignore inconvenient details to focus on the bigger picture, symbolic when he cannot see the dead pixel on the monitor and direct as he closes his eyes on Jimmy's assault on Anya. It’s important to note, however, that Curly was infuriated with Jimmy, seeing as the music that plays during his confrontation was low, metallic, and overall furious-sounding. In the Mouthwashing DLC, we get a bit of an insight on Curly’s personality; how he felt responsible for everything on board, and how his guilt consumed him for not punishing Jimmy adequately.

Relationships

Jimmy Jimmy and Curly are presented as having been friends for quite some time before the game's events. It is implanted that Curly assisted in getting Jimmy the position of co-pilot. Curly appears to be lenient to his friend, ignoring his violent outbursts and not taking any serious measures after Jimmy has been implied to have raped Anya, assuring her that "he knows him." Despite Jimmy showing himself to be deeply resentful of Curly and dangerous to his crewmates, Curly trusts him to navigate alone. After the crash, Curly grows terrified of Jimmy due to constant abuse. At first, Curly gets agitated when Jimmy gives him the painkillers, as the digestion of it causes him great pain. However, after Jimmy physically assaults him when he protests digesting the pills, Curly stops resisting Jimmy's attempt to administer the medicine despite the agony it causes him.

Relationships

Swansea Curly's relationship with Swansea is typical to that of a captain and his employee. There is a mutual respect, and Curly trusts Swansea enough to let him keep the axe after Curly uses it to free Daisuke from the foam before the crash. Swansea complains that everything goes through Curly, being discontent that he holds so much importance over them. When Jimmy takes over after the ship's crash, Swansea seemingly prefers their previous captain, mocking Jimmy's attempt to establish authority. It implies that Swansea might've held Curly in higher regard than Jimmy

Relationships

Anya They have trusting relationships, spending time together on the ship. Anya is seemingly distracted by the fact that Curly won't open up to her during the psychological evaluation but still treats him like her friend. Anya confides her problems in Curly, telling him about the dead pixel on the monitor distracting her and about the implied rape by Jimmy. However, Curly appears to hold her in lower regard than his co-pilot, reprimanding her for hiding the gun safe and not taking any serious measures against Jimmy. Despite the crew believing that Curly caused the crash, Anya still cares for him. She believes one's worst moment doesn't turn them into a monster, therefore not holding any grudge against her former captain. She is pained to hear him in agony during medicine administration and sometimes asks Jimmy to do it.

Relationships

Daisuke Curly and Daisuke also have a typical working relationship, and very few personal interactions through the game. Despite this, it seems generally neutral, with Curly usually leaving Swansea to deal with Daisuke, as he's interned under him. He does also mention that he should've put up more of a stink towards the company for allowing Daisuke on a ship made for 4 people.

Description

Who could have guessed that our good Captain Curly would do such a thing? Apparently, he thought it was only right that his crew should die with him. But some people aren't even capable of committing suicide normally..... Crippled, without arms and legs, unable to speak, but still alive - now Curly is at the mercy of his crew, whom he has condemned to a slow death.

Plot

The game begins in the captain's cabin, on the Tulpar, a cargo delivery ship owned by Pony Express. After the on-board computer reports the threat of a collision with a satellite, the captain disengages the autopilot and takes a course to the right, causing the ship to collide with it and get seriously damaged. The crew's lives are saved by insulating foam built into the ship's hull. Two months after the ship collides with the satellite, the ship's crew - repair engineers Swansea and Daiske, nurse Anya and assistant captain Jimmy - decide to appoint Jimmy as the ship's new captain. After a brief argument, they decide to open the cargo bay, hoping that there will be food or spare parts for the ship. But opening the compartment brings nothing - it is filled to the ceiling with mouthwash, which becomes a substitute for alcohol for the crew.
