- Dear Passengers is a chaotic co-op game from Flexus launching on PC later this year
- Players manage the world's worst airline dealing with disasters and unruly passengers
- Gameplay involves balancing cargo risks and passenger choices amid wild ragdoll physics
Imagine the worst budget flight of your life, then dial the chaos up to 100. That is the premise of 'Dear Passengers', a wild new co-op game from Flexus arriving on PCs later this year. The twist? You aren't the suffering passengers. Instead, you and your friends team up as the crew of the world's worst airline, desperately managing chaotic cabins, angry passengers, and mid-air disasters.
The trailer of the game went live on Tuesday (July 14), with the gameplay centring on similar themes as other popular 'friendslop' games. Friendslop is a term used to describe multiplayer games that are cheap, vibrant and fun to play with friends. Last year, games like R.E.P.O. Peak, RV There Yet and more went viral, whilst developing a cult following.
Dear Passengers appears to follow the same pattern. The game revolves around players balancing risky passenger and cargo selections for massive payouts while battling unpredictable weather and wild, ragdoll-style physics that send luggage, snacks, and passengers flying.
Co-op teamwork splits the crew between piloting the cockpit and managing the cabin. When disaster strikes, you must step outside mid-flight to repair the hull or pick up a machine gun to fight off incoming pirates.
"Play in co-op as the crew of the world's worst airline. Your plane is falling apart, your cargo is illegal, and passenger safety barely makes the list," reads the game description on Steam.
