Mayday
You are an air traffic controller deciding the fate of a mysterious, unauthorized aircraft. Will you follow the rules or follow your morals? How can you be sure you won't be tricked?
Do your Job!
“Mayday” is a short, narrative-driven job simulation. You see the world through the eyes of an air traffic controller in the fictional Eastern European authoritarian state of Ostrovnia. Keep an eye on the radar and the weather and guide the plane to safety by radio. Or maybe not. You don't know the pilot's intentions.
Explore the Truth!
Investigate websites, magazines and papers to find out the history of the authoritarian state of Ostrovnia and find out what could have gone differently. Are you sure you live in an ideal country or will something make you doubt? Was the tale of your great nation just a lie?
You Decide!
Your decisions have a serious impact on your personal life as well as on your country. Every decision affects the well-being of thousands of people. What do you choose? Who can you trust?
Tick, Tick, Tick
Time is running out. 5 minutes until the plane crashes. 300 seconds to inform yourself, check and make a decision. Will you manage to make a decision before disaster strikes?

Thank you for the review. I enjoyed the video a lot :)
It's an interesting game... but i've found a gamebreaking bug where after inspecting the radar, the camera turns upside down
Thanks for the bug report. I will try to fix it
