First Class Trouble (PC) is reminiscent of the Steam hit Among Us, but does without the playful comic look. In the asymmetrical multiplayer you play as a killer robot or as a human and have to try to survive on a cruise ship. The game is free on Epic until January 19th.
What is First Class Trouble? First Class Trouble adopts the popular gameplay from Among Us, in which one or more traitors among a group of players try to sabotage them.
On a cruise ship, the ship’s artificial intelligence has gone berserk and is now siphoning off the oxygen. As a human, you must try to get to the core of the AI in order to defeat it.
“Personoids” stand in your way: killer robots that look like humans and are controlled by other players. These try to keep people from their rescue and kill them.
Using the surrounding chat, hints, and arguments, you must try to find and kick out the saboteurs, or cleverly cast suspicion on others to wipe out the humans.

First Class Trouble is so well received: On Steam, the game has a rating of 79% positive reviews all the time. As for the recent reviews, 89% are positive.
First Class Trouble is not the same as Among Us, but has many similarities. A big difference is that you never know exactly how many personoids are still alive. So you always have to decide whether you’ve already eliminated everyone or whether someone else has to die – just to be on the safe side.
First Class Trouble is especially good if you have a group of 5-6 friends to play with. It’s less fun alone or when you have to look for groups. You spend so much time in queues and are unlucky enough to end up in toxic groups.
