A new friendslop game is already Steam’s 12th-most wishlisted game a mere week after it was announced
Dear Passengers, a cooperative multiplayer game developed by Flexus, has rapidly ascended Steam’s wishlisted games chart to claim the 12th position just one week after its announcement. The game tasks players with collaboratively managing “the world’s worst airline” as crew members, positioning itself within the “friendslop” genre of chaotic, social co-op experiences designed for friend groups.
The game’s meteoric rise on Steam’s wishlist rankings is particularly notable given how recently it was announced. The developer’s pitch centers on multiplayer chaos and coordination challenges, appealing to the growing audience of players seeking social, party-style gaming experiences. The chaotic nature of the premise—running an intentionally dysfunctional airline operation—suggests a focus on humor and emergent gameplay moments that arise from player cooperation and inevitable mishaps.
While the announcement has generated significant enthusiasm among Steam users, the article notes that the game’s takeoff has not been entirely smooth, with some “turbulence” accompanying its rise. The specifics of these challenges are not detailed in the available excerpt, but they suggest potential concerns regarding either the game’s announcement, community reception, or development trajectory.
The rapid wishlist performance positions Dear Passengers among highly anticipated titles on Steam, demonstrating strong early interest from the PC gaming community despite limited exposure time.
