I've always liked the gameplay of something like Among Us and this game looked right up my alley. Unfortunately besides the retroesque '60s aesthetic the game is honestly lame.
A lot of the game requires mic usage so if you're not in a lobby with more than 1 person using their mic you're pretty much fucked. The game also has a surprisingly complicated control scheme which is funny because games like this are best when they're simplistic. The tasks the game wants you to go on are somehow more shallow than Among Us which sounds too weird coming out of my mouth.
All and all If you want to play a murder mystery game with friends I'd say just stick with Town of Salem or Among Us.

Got it for free on PS Plus
A decent game that resembles Gmod's murder game or TTT or some other games in this genre (Among Us).
The game doesn't feature a tutorial which is quite troubling because there are some mechanics that are confusing upon first experiencing. Bottom line this game really needs a tutorial.
A bug I noticed if a player leaves in the hub area before the game actually begins, the lobby will break. The game overall just seems unpolished.
The game also suffers if people don't use their mics, like it is WAY more fun and interesting if everyone is talking, if no one talks the synths usually win. Seriously people the PS5 controller literally has a built in mic you have no excuses now.
The game itself is alright, I think it has an odd aesthetic but it's ok. I think there is also some big balancing issues, the game is very much so synth-sided. As a human, you need all of your fellow humans to be competent to even have a chance at winning, which in random matchmaking, is unlikely. They need to buff the humans quite a bit.
I really enjoyed the physics and always love when games have VOIP, and the concepts at hand are pretty interesting. I think the gas may go down a bit too fast though, further making it too hard for the humans.
If possible, play this game with friends, use voice chat, and hope for the best. I had a lot of funny moments and had an overall enjoyable time, but this game simply will not last, so play it while you can I guess.
I predict this game will be completely dead within a year, if not sooner.

3D Among Us
First Class Trouble is a social deduction game, and I’ve played quite a few of those, particularly Town of Salem. First Class Trouble is a rather solid take on the genre, where players are stranded on a ship with 4 humans, and 2 robots. The robots are attempting to eliminate humans, and the humans must either kill the robots or disable their main AI. There are multiple levels, and the players will be able to vote on which levels to travel through and each one is slightly different.
There’s also distance-based voice chat which allows players to have multiple conversations and the ability to isolate players. In my three games, I was the imposter on all three, and had a good time, especially when people were teaching me the game, which I then repaid violently. The idea here is solid, but I will say that playing online, I heard some not-so-pleasant stuff, so let’s just leave it at that. Not as bad as some games, but enough that will upset others.
Pick this up if you like Social Deduction. This is a solid game, especially if you can find 6 players for it. If you’re going to play with randoms you will find good players, but you’ll also have to deal with a few jerks. There is also cosmetic DLC but a decent amount of cosmetics are awarded for leveling up in the game at the same time.
