Description

A handful of airline employees hopped a plane on it’s way to to be decommissioned, heading from Honolulu to Southern California. Shortly after reaching cruising altitude, they heard a fight in the cockpit, and then everything went silent. The intercom is down and they don’t know where the pilot is taking them, or whether they’ll survive once they get there. There is no way out of the situation, all they can do is try to get through the next few hours. Fortunately, they all know each other very well._

There is no way out of the situation during game time, this is a game about character interactions and player exploration of difficult emotions through roleplay. Flashbacks are used to show the characters’ lives flashing before their eyes and to bring up older emotional issues.
