GAMEPLAY


Sit back, relax and immerse yourself in this interactive short story.


The controls will be explained to you in-game.

SPOILERS

If you get stuck and need help


Try playing the game first, but if you are having difficulty, then follow these steps to proceed: After the operator instructs you to eject the passengers, you will need to look at the buttons on the passenger seat selector screen. Press E to select a seat. Now select 10 seats. To the left you will see the red Eject Passengers button. Look at this button and press E. For more help click this spoiler here.

You will be playing as the pilot before takeoff. The plane is overbooked and it’s your job to take care of that problem. In front of you are some tools at your disposal. Your co-pilot will help you with the controls.

Wow, I love this. It's like an absurdist art piece, more of an experience you can relax with and enjoy rather than something you have to actively focus on interacting with. Might not be for everyone but I certainly love this style of game. Lots of good little jokes, good voice acting, and good processing/effect work on the audio as well. I wont spoil the climax here but it had me laughing for a good while. Really enjoyed this!

Also, huge props on the inclusion of subtitles. Accessibility efforts always win extra points with me.

Funny idea, couple of good laughs from the dialogue. I was really hoping there was going to be a visual to go with ejecting passengers and you did not disappoint! Not much challenge to the gameplay as I was just picking random numbers but still had fun with it.

Great story!
Ejected all the passengers,
10/10 would eject again.

@floppynub Haha thanks for the feedback. Agree that not everyone's going to get it, but I see that you definitely do.

@raptorspank Thanks! I originally intended for more gameplay but I underestimated how long it would take me to build everything else. Glad you enjoyed it :)
