First Class Trouble

First Class Trouble launched November 2, 2021, with StreamerHouse pulling 991 viewers as Invisible Walls' social deduction game emerged from April 2021 early access into PlayStation Plus stardom. The game launched with "largely positive" Steam reviews (77% positive) as players compared it to Among Us but with full 3D environments, voice chat, and 1950s retro-futurist aesthetic aboard a luxury space cruise-liner. Four Residents must shut down the rogue AI CAIN while two Personoids masquerade as Residents and sabotage the mission. Critics noted that while Among Us and Gnosia perfected social deduction mechanics, First Class Trouble stood out for its "extremely memorable murderous possibilities"—physics-based kills and environmental chaos created emergent moments. PlayStation Plus inclusion in November 2021 alongside Kingdoms of Amalur gave it exposure, but player counts dropped in following months, leaving it uncertain. StreamerHouse's near-1,000 viewer peak captured launch curiosity before the social deduction genre's saturation set in. The game needed player populations to function—when lobbies died, so did the experience. First Class Trouble was a good game released into an oversaturated genre at the wrong time.
