PASSENGERS is a game where you play a smuggler of migrants in Europe.
Migrants are all over the news. They’re treated as a group of people, not as individuals. We wanted to go beyond that, to show some of their individuality and how powerless it is in front of the acting monster, you.
Thanks for playing.

This games make me feel awful, so i guess you are in the theme :D
I'm not a big fan of the music, but otherwise great look and feel, love the small details and animations.
@FrozenTux Yeah, the subject of the game is a delicate one, but I really think game can be a really good tool to create this kind of feelings, and hopefully help people to talk about this kind of political problems.
About the music, I'll try to improve it asap.
@Barabbia The game is a fiction based on the actually/reality, but it's a fiction. The "Goal" of the game it's to make react people, to make them research more information about the subject, and invite them to talk/think about this sensible subject.
This game is pretty deep I think. I enjoyed how it really pushes you into pretty in-human decisions. Very well made! It resembles me Papers please, but way more evil.
Ps: I am living in Czech Republic, immigrants are trying to pass through and some of theme are living in detention camps, lot of people are against their presence, but I think it's better to help many (and potentially allow some bad guy enter our land) then just deny everyone and force innocent people to do dangerous actions just to save their lives...
This game is really dark in an amazing way. It makes you think. :D
Great Idea, great game, could not play more than 2 minutes because it makes me feel awfull.
Good job, works well on many people I guess.
This was definitely a great game! Immigration is always going to be a complicated issue, but there are so many way's to show the humanity of their situation. 10/10 will illegally ship immigrants again.
