Ukrainian Studio Flexus Games Launches Cooperative Flight Simulator Dear Passengers Kyiv-based game development studio Flexus Games has officially announced its new project, Dear Passengers, a cooperative multiplayer game centered around managing the chaos of a poorly run airline. The studio launched the game’s Steam page and shared gameplay details, highlighting its focus on teamwork and realistic simulation. The project has already garnered significant attention, with over 500,000 additions to its Steam wishlist and a viral trailer shared by The Game Awards’ official Instagram account, which amassed more than 100,000 likes. The game’s premise revolves around players assuming roles as an airplane crew, tasked with navigating the unpredictable challenges of flight operations. One player controls the aircraft’s piloting, while others manage cabin duties, including serving passengers, extinguishing fires, and resolving emergencies to prevent disasters. The developers emphasize realistic physics for character and luggage movement, as well as dynamic weather systems that introduce turbulence and other unpredictable elements. These features aim to create a tense, immersive experience that balances humor and stress, as described by the studio’s goal of ensuring players “laugh with friends, not quit in anger.” Before each flight, players can customize their crew’s mission by selecting passengers and cargo, a decision that directly impacts both the financial reward and the level of difficulty. High-value cargo and demanding passengers increase the risk of complications, adding strategic depth to the gameplay. The developers also noted that the game’s design prioritizes accessibility, ensuring that cooperative play remains engaging and rewarding for all participants.#gamescom #kyiv #flexus_games #semen_kozyura #the_game_awards
