- Dev Log: New Map - PLANETARIUM - 27 March 2026
Hello Residents,We know it's been a while since you last heard from us, but we've been busy behind the scenes. We've got some exciting news to share in this dev log.Let's jump right into it.Big news, we are working on a new map!The Planetarium is the first new map for First Class Trouble in 5 years, so getting back into the mindset of what makes a great map took some time. We wanted to create something fresh, while still supporting the core gameplay you know and love.Originally, the map started as a "Space Museum", but it felt a bit too generic and required a huge number of assets that just complicated things. Instead, we shifted direction and built the map around a central Planetarium dome, giving it a more distinct identity and an almost opera-like structure.A new way to navigateThis is the first circular map in First Class Trouble. To make sure players don't feel lost, we focused hea…
- Please Remain Calm While We Retrofit the Ship - 28 January 2026
Hello fellow passengers, it is nearing that time when we are commencing the big retrofit of First Class Trouble! This post will detail what is to come. It will contain both a little rundown on what this update is, why it is what it is, and explain how we will be rolling out the first update here on January 29th. which will be a technical update and the coming content updates.In the bottom you will find a few select patch notes, as honestly we changed so much it would be an impossible task to list them all. If we’ve done our jobs correctly, this update will feel a little bit like boarding the ISS Alithea and finding that everything looks exactly as you remember it. The carpets are still plush-ish. The drinks are still chilled-ish. And the trouble… well, that’s still very much first class-ish - nevermind the blood ;). But beneath the polished exterior, almost everything has changed a boar…
- Merry Christmas and a slight delay - 12 December 2025
Hello Residents!We wanted to share a quick status update on the next First Class Trouble patch.We’re currently getting everything into certification and making sure we’re ready to ship as soon as we possibly can. This has taken a bit longer than expected, which means we’re now aiming to release the update in January 2026 - sorry for being a bit too optimistic.This first update is primarily a technical upgrade, focused on making sure the foundation of the game is solid before we build on top of it - as it has not been updated by the former license rights owners for a few years. The main goals of this update are:Upgrading First Class Trouble to Unreal Engine 5Migrating all player accounts away from the old backend environment previously operated by Versus Evil / tinyBuildEnsuring accounts, progression, and unlocks continue to work exactly as intendedBecause of this, the first update won’t…
- The Future of First Class Trouble - 17 October 2025
Invisible Walls has reacquired the rights to First Class Trouble. Hi all residents - we’ve missed you!Amazing news on the way up the elevator!After almost four years of uncertainty, we can finally share the good news: Invisible Walls has regained the rights to First Class Trouble and we’re once again in full control of the game’s future. We know many of you have wondered what happened behind the scenes and why the game stopped receiving updates. Perhaps one day I will be able to tell the full story of it all, but the short version is simple: after our original release, a long series of publisher issues and financial complications left us unable to continue developing the game; even though the community remained strong, and us never losing our passion for it - the game was taken out of our hands. Like many small indie studios, we were learning as we went, sometimes naïve, always optimist…
- Steam Mystery Fest Sale Going on Now! - 20 February 2023
Hello, everyone! Steam is having a Mystery Fest sale, and it just so happens we have 3 mystery-centric games to choose from! Our first offering is First Class Trouble, a party game where players must work together and against each other to survive a disaster. The goal is to shut down a deadly A.I., but some players are impostors, secretly playing as human-looking killer robots intent on betraying the other players. Whether you do it sober or with a slight buzz, First Class Trouble will serve you a dangerous cocktail of difficult decisions and whacky possibilities. In a similar vein as First Class Trouble is Eville, a multiplayer social deduction game where you find yourself in a village riddled by a series of murders. Some say it might have been you - or was it? Convince others you're not a murderer to stay alive or betray your friends and lie your way to victory. Our final title for th…

- Patch 1.7.5 - A Balancing Act - 10 December 2022
We recently pushed patch 1.7.5 live on all platforms. This patch is small in size, but we hope it proves to bring a big shift in how the game is played. Patch 1.7.5 brings a new item and a shift to item spawns. This new item is the Throwable Syringe. We have received requests for a ranged weapon for Personoids for a very long time, but have struggled to find a safe and balanced way to implement it. We're hoping this is the correct solution, but we will be keeping a close eye on feedback to make sure. Visually, the Throwable Syringe appears the same as a regular syringe. However, Throwable Syringes spawn randomly and not in Syringe Stands. When thrown at a healthy Resident, the Throwable Syringe will unfortunately cause immediate death so please handle with care. It is also not currently blocked by SIIC Shields, as the Shield Deployment System does not detect impacts from projectiles. Yo…
- Update 21 - The X-Ray Scanner - 11 August 2022
The time is now! The X-Ray scanner is out there for you to use however you see fit. This new mechanic is meant to be a double-edged blade. If you haven't already seen our post that explains how the X-Ray Scanner works, you can check it out here. Keep reading for the full patch notes for this update! NEW FEATURE: Public X-Ray Scanner Placed in the mall, ski resort and restaurant - the public x-ray scanner allows the residents/or Personoids to scan players, but beware that it requires a skill check that might lead to the instantaneous albeit unfortunate demise of the player in the X-ray scanner. The X-ray scanner is a one time use and you should therefore be extra careful who you decide to have controlling the machinery. The machine works by reporting if there is any Personoid present inside the machine after a completed skill check. It will report an error if someone fails the skill chec…
- Update 20 - Personal Defense - 23 June 2022
We're sorry for the delay, but it's finally time to gear up and go have some fun! SIIC has just stocked the ship up with what was originally going to be dubbed the "Passenger Shield". Initially designed to protect Residents who had a few too many when they inevitably fell over, the helmets seem to stop preventing fall injuries when CAIN goes rogue. Maybe you'll be able to find a use for them? SIIC has also been working to expand on the options available for your custom cruises! We've brought the Technical team in this time, and with their help we've got two new offerings. First up is "Anonymous Personoids". This cruise option will stop CAIN from communicating with Personoids to let them know who else is a Personoid. The goal of this offering is to help you feel like you've got more Residents alongside you on your journey, and feel less out of place while partying with a Personoid! On to…

- Patch 1.5.5 - 1 June 2022
Hi Residents of Alithea! Not much to see here ;). This is a patch gearing up for a large update coming very soon. To not keep you waiting too much then we bundled a few fixes and tweaks to fix some of the issues that players run into. Have a lovely day! - Invisible Walls Removed Trash Compactor UI icons so they only appear when you use the Personoid X-ray Vision to look for it. Optimized the fire effects so they now provide less of a performance hit. Fixed some instances where the Trash Compactor was intersecting with Syringe Stands and other things like that. Fixed an issue with the Female version of the wedding tuxedo masking away the feet of the player wearing it. Fixed a glass pane that was misaligned on the Starting Area lobby. Fixed the freezer killing you and allowing the animation to play out afterwards. Made it so you cannot scan corpses that have been put in the trash compacto…
