Experience What It’s Like To Re-Accommodate People Off Of Airplanes Like United Airlines In This Upcoming VR Game

After the horrific incident that occurred aboard United Airlines (where a passenger named David Dao was “re-accommodated”), a game developer named Beat Boxer LLC has managed to start a VR game called Voluntary Disembarkment that simulates a similar experience.
Voluntary Disembarkment will square you up against passengers to re-accommodate them off the plane. You must voluntarily eject overbooked passengers you randomly select to comply. Make your way through the cabin and knock them unconscious to escort them off the plane. This is company policy aboard the flight.
Now, you might be wondering, “Is this a joke?” Well, no, it’s not. The company has started an IndieGoGo campaign to bring this VR game to life. “Last December our flight to Florida, USA was delayed over 3 hours in Dublin, Ireland,” said Beat Boxer on their campaign page. “It was a major headache. On the bright side, we recently received a $1000 check from the airline thanks to the superior consumer rights in Europe. Unfortunately most countries, such as the United States, do not have those kind of protections. In fact, you can be assaulted for being a customer. We see the current events in the airline industry and our experience developing for VR as an opportunity to make a fun satirical game and raise awareness for consumer rights.”
The company will be donating 50% of funds to a consumer rights organizations like Flyersrights.org to protect airline passengers from companies such as United Airlines. Beat Boxer has also stated that if the game doesn’t raise enough funds to complete the game, all proceeds will be donated.
Features for Voluntary Disembarkment:
- Find “volunteer” passengers hiding in their seats. Bonus points for passengers with lower ticket prices.
- Knock out the volunteer with your fists, luggage from over head bins, or even the coffee pot.
- Everything item on the plane is interactable. That includes the snack cart, luggage, passengers, the cockpit, you name it.
- Drag the volunteer through the aisle and toss them out the exit doors. The farther the throw the more points you get. Make sure you find and toss their luggage as well.
- Start on a small bi-plane and work your way up to Commercial Airlines.
- Passengers annoyance level increase as the game goes on, causing them to start demanding rights. Remind them of their “rights” with a swift punch to the jaw and collect bonus points.
- Collect rewards form the CEO for abusing your power.
- Final Boss: Voluntarily disembark the CEO from his private jet.
“Image a mix between Job Simulator, Drunken Bar Fight, and Baby Toss,” said Beat Boxer. Every item on the plane will be interactable, some people will fight back, and every person can be tossed off the plane with no regard to their civil liberties or human rights.”
