In First Class Trouble you take on the role of one of the last remaining survivors on a luxury spaceship that has experienced some severe technical difficulties. Chief of these problems is that the AI and on-board robotic servants have rebelled and decided to kill every human onboard. They wiped out most of the passengers by simply turning the air off, but a lucky few with Oxygen Rebreathers survived.

The band of surviving players must now work together to try and reset the AI to revert it to a non-homicidal state, but it’s not going to be easy. The ship is full of robot servants that are more focused on serving pain than beverages and some of the survivors are robots in disguise. Cooperation is key to success, but trust will be in short supply as players attempt to figure out who the robots in their ranks are.

First Class Trouble is a game for a generation of streamers. It is a game where social tactics and strategy is as important as reflexes, and it delivers a much needed social, emotional and dramatic gameplay which is seldomly seen in multiplayer games. It’s a game that caters to anyone who likes playing co-op and enjoys asymmetrical gameplay.

Unique to First Class Trouble, is that the game will utilize proximity based voice chat to elevate the social dynamics of actual conversations, which players can experience in a video game.

Developer Invisible Walls and publisher Versus Evil announced that First Class Trouble will be coming to Steam Early Access in Q1 2021.

Until then, The teams are running a free holiday playtest starting December 15th and ending December 31st. New to the playtest are Christmas decorations and cosmetics.

Players can join the Playtest via the Steam page Steam.

“The year 2020 has sucked on many levels. For Versus Evil, partnering with Invisible Walls is one of the best things to happen all year,” said Steve Escalante, General Manager of Versus Evil. “First Class Trouble is our new entry in the wildly popular social deduction genre, with the likes of Among Us and Town of Salem. Multiplayer games have always brought the "best AI" by adding human interaction. With social deduction games you get to learn how cunning, funny, manipulative, and dramatic people can be. In this COVID world, they’ve been a great escape to a fun, social space where you can hang out with people and have a game night like no other. A quick thank you to the Danish Film Institute who initially funded some of the development to the tune of $370,000. First Class Trouble is a great example of how development teams, publishers and government funds truly help drive creativity with investment in an ever growing, globally flourishing industry.

First Class Trouble is coming to PC (Steam Early Access in Q1 2021), Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One in 2021.
