Fascinating module. It's "Event Horizon", but baked into a small 'venture for the crew. I had the benefit of not knowing what Event Horizon even was until my players informed me afterward, and was informed that this being the case, I brought an incredibly fresh perspective to it. I very much got the impression that my unawareness of the source media was what lent to them actually enjoying themselves here, but I had also gone through the trouble of building a map for this with a friend (who may release it, eventually!). I discarded most of the baked in hallucinations for things that my player's may be interested in, but I very much gave them the direction of locking things up and making sure that they visited the bridge first to get things rolling and give them the opportunity to address pieces of the ship in chunks. I think if you do that, you can allow the module to shine a little bit more. Add some problem-solving to the general nature of it. Perhaps don't expect them to go back to the lower deck. I had a good time running this one, though; production value helped.

An excellent adventure for a very tightly designed game. About twice as long as the adventure included in the rulebook, it also includes a full deckplan for the titular ship. Without spoiling anything this is a good 'ghost ship' investigatory adventure that avoids being too linear or "railroad-y". There's an optional rule for spacesuit damage that I flagged for use in other adventures as well.
Note the content warning, while on the mild side in my personal opinion (YMMV) this adventure is definitely leans more towards 'sci-fi horror' than 'sci-fi thriller'. Finally, Those Dark Places is rules light enough that the plot/details for this adventure could easily be adapted to those couple of other 'dark sci-fi' RPGs that are out there.
