## Summary

Night Plane is a retro-style indie horror game in which players work as a flight attendant on a journey that turns from routine service into a nightmarish cycle of airport and aircraft horrors. Its mix of workplace simulation, unsettling imagery and dry humour makes it an absorbing example of games using horror to explore their own conventions.

Developed by New Zealand-based Liquid Static Studio, the game uses glitchy, low-poly visuals inspired by the original PlayStation era. Players check passengers, serve food and drink, and confront demons disguised as people as strange events escalate; a run takes about four to five hours, with later playthroughs revealing extra quests and endings. It costs less than £10.
