Low fares. Lower expectations.
A pixel-art travel survival game about getting from booking to baggage claim with enough cash, sanity, and dignity left to call it a trip.
Your ticket was cheap. The journey has other plans.
Three meters track the damage. Arrive with enough of each left to call it a trip.
The game
Choose how to handle each encounter, weigh the costs, and try to reach your destination before your reason for traveling has already started.
Pay for the sandwich. Eat the snack you packed. Take your chances with the vending machine. Decisions change your resources, your belongings, and the time left to make your mission.
Save money now and you may pay for it later in something else.
Choose from six travelers with different strengths, weaknesses, and starting supplies. Buy what you need, work within your bag space, and navigate booking, packing, the airport, boarding, and the flight itself.
A connecting flight adds another opportunity for everything to go wrong.
Face absurd encounters and special challenges, including a passenger who has decided your armrest is a footrest.
The airline remains optimistic. Your status meters may disagree.
Pick a Quick Trip, Standard Trip, or Connecting Flight. Repeat a journey using its seed and try different decisions.
Revisit your receipts, endings, and questionable choices in the Travel Journal.
