This is a game where you play as a window seat passenger for the real-time duration of a long-haul commercial flight across the Atlantic. Airplane Mode's gameplay explores the airline travel experience down to every last detail—from the design of your seat and the seatback in front of you, to the contents of your carry-on bag and smartphone hard drive, to the behaviors of cabin crew and other passengers. The circumstances of your flight will change every time you play. Simply put, Airplane Mode is the most realistic flight simulation ever created. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. Featuring: Taxi, take-off, and landing. Fairly accurate satellite imagery of your flight path. Snacks, premium beverages, and meal service (incl. fish option). Carry-on bag with a book, headphones, pen, and charging cable. Overhead reading light and complimentary aircraft information card. Inflight safety video produced by IFC's in-house team of expert air hosts. Randomized events on every playthrough, such as turbulence, bad wifi, and delays. Authentic ambient noise—whose baby is that???* Inflight entertainment system featuring a flight tracker and hit movies of the 1930s. Our award-winning magazine, Stratospheres, filled with articles, crosswords, and Sudoku. From AMC Games, IFC, Bacronym, and the NYU Game Center Incubator. *Crying baby not guaranteed on every flight.

Press reviews: “What it is attempting to do, it does flawlessly.” Screen Rant “Airplane Mode is everything you’d expect from a well-crafted flight simulator where you’re not in control: Boring, hopeless, and a dangerous invitation into the depths of your own unhinged psyche brought on by a high altitude prison that you paid to be incarcerated in.” Critical Hit “Outside of maybe actually sleeping, this has to be the craziest idea for a sim I could ever think of.” Shack News 

Notes: Airplane Mode is a simulation of the commercial flight experience for an adult passenger, so it features legal use of alcohol and sleeping aids. This content may not be appropriate for all ages, or it may not be appropriate for viewing at work.
