Airplane Mode is a game where you play as a window seat passenger for the real-time duration of a commercial flight. The game deals with the commercial flight experience and all its familiar rituals. While the experience differs from person to person, every session focuses on the strange space between the banal and the sublime. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the flight.
