Kyiv-based game development studio Flexus Games has officially announced its new project, Dear Passengers, and launched its Steam page. The cooperative game, in which users take on the roles of an airplane crew and try to cope with the chaos during a flight, has already attracted the attention of players.
The developers announced the launch of the Steam page on their LinkedIn page, where they also shared the first details of the gameplay and the vision of the project.
The gameplay of Dear Passengers is built on team interaction. While one player pilots the plane, the others must maintain order in the cabin: serve passengers, put out fires, and resolve emergency situations before they lead to a disaster. The authors promise realistic physics of character and luggage movement, as well as dynamic weather with turbulence that can turn a normal flight into a test.
Before each takeoff, the crew can independently select the passengers and cargo to be transported. This choice affects both the financial reward and the level of danger during the flight, as more expensive cargo and demanding passengers create additional difficulties.
The project has already attracted the attention of the global gaming community. In particular, the announcement trailer Dear Passengers was published by the official Instagram account of the prestigious The Game Awards — this post has collected over 100,000 likes. Flexus Games notes that the number of likes for the project is already growing rapidly.
«We create a game that is fun. Every element of it—the design, the graphics, the sound, the trailer—is aimed at one goal: that moment when you laugh with your friends, not quit the game in anger,» the studio says.
UPD. dev.ua received an exclusive comment from Flexus Games founder Semen Kozyura regarding current results and development plans.
According to him, the game has already collected over 500,000 additions to the Steam wishlist, and the pace is not slowing down.
«We are preparing a demo for Gamescom, we will be at the stand with Ukrainian games there. We will release a public demo a little later. Ukrainian localization, of course, will be there,» said Semen Kozyura in a comment to dev.ua.
