Set in an alternate 1950’s universe on board the ISS Alithea, a passenger cruise-liner on its maiden 20 year journey across the solar system, First Class Trouble is a multiplayer social deduction game where six players must work together to shut down C.A.I.N., the rogue A.I. onboard the luxury space cruise-liner that is trying to kill them. They wiped out most of the passengers by simply turning the air off, but a lucky few with Oxygen Rebreathers survived.

Two of the six players are chosen at random to secretly play as Personoids, killer humanoids sent by C.A.I.N. to infiltrate and ultimately betray the other players, known as Residents.

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.

Collaboration underpins the nature of First Class Trouble’s gameplay which utilizes built-in proximity-based voice chat to elevate the social dynamics of actual conversations. As friends split off from the group to scheme and plot, you won’t hear a victim’s cry for help if they’re too far from you.  Residents will need to use teamwork to accomplish different co-operative tasks to navigate the different maps while the Personoids lie, disrupt, and deceive their way through the ship to kill off the Residents. Players can find themselves offed in a number of unique ways including being dumped out of airlocks, drowned in spa pools, electrocuting each other, pushed into a burning fire or freezing to death from being locked in freezers.

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 and publisher Versus Evil are excited to announce that their multiplayer social deduction game First Class Trouble is now available on Steam Early Access.

“First Class Trouble combines all the chaos, hilarity and fun you’d expect from a social deduction game played with friends. It’s as hilarious to watch as it is hugely entertaining to play, and the mix of personalities and the actual social aspect of getting together is a welcome pause from everything happening around us in our daily lives. Without a doubt, the team at Invisible Walls have created a competitive addition to the hugely popular social deduction genre.” Said Steve Escalante,General Manager of Versus Evil.

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