About once a week I head on over Steam to peek at the most wishlisted games because I want to know: what are PC gamers looking forward to most? Are there any highly anticipated games on the brink of release? And is anything new blowing up
This week I definitely spotted something new: Dear Passengers, a co-op game about running “the world’s worst airline” with your friends, is now seated comfortably at number 12 on Steam’s top wishlists. That’s impressive because the chaotic friendslop game was only announced a week ago. Here’s the trailer if you missed it:
“You and your friends are the crew,” says developer Flexus. “Your job is to deliver passengers and cargo to their destination. Preferably in one piece. While one of you pilots the plane, the others keep the cabin together, serve the passengers, and deal with whatever goes wrong before it gets much worse.”
And things definitely look like they get worse. Turbulence, bad weather, bird strikes, and dangerous cargo can lead to all sorts of disasters while in flight, and of course there’s no greater threat than your friends who might open the doors at altitude and get everyone sucked out of the plane.
