PC users have just two days to claim multiplayer party game 'better than Among Us' for free

In the search for the next Super Mario Galaxy or Among Us-like party game to cause mayhem on a game night with the squad, Epic Games has offered up a limited-time freebie that is exactly what we need.

Since Among Us phased out of the mainstream, players have long been searching for a new reason for a good answer to 'what do we play tonight?'

While there is an abundance of titles that require players to pour endless hours into - and if that's your vibe, this heavily discounted survival title might be what you're after - most gamers fancy something quick and easy to understand, and that's where this Steam freebie comes into play.

First Class Trouble is currently free to play on Steam (and 70 percent off for the next two weeks), giving PC players the chance to jump into the multiplayer social deduction game without spending a penny.

But you only have two days left to get the squad online to claim it for free - and you probably should do...

First Class Trouble goes free on Steam, the best Among Us alternative yet

If you've ever played Among Us, you'll probably have a pretty good idea of what you're getting yourself into here as a social deduction game that serves as a murder mystery turned party.

First Class Trouble drops players aboard the luxurious ISS Alithea, where everyone needs to work together to survive a disaster. Unfortunately, not everyone has the group's best interests at heart.

"Whether you play as one of the human Residents or the rebellious Personoids, you will have to use your wit (and the occasional flying champagne bottle) to stay alive," the Steam description says.

"In First Class Trouble, you either deceive or deduce your way to victory in a charming, yet unsettling and often mischievous environment. Whether you do it sober or with a slight buzz, First Class Trouble will serve you a dangerous cocktail of difficult decisions and wacky possibilities.

"The goal is to shut down the Central Artificial Intelligence Network, also known as CAIN, of the luxurious intergalactic cruise ship ISS Alithea before it and its loyal Personoids take control of the ship."

There's even a rather appropriate champagne bottle that can be thrown at people, because apparently surviving a disaster aboard a luxury space liner wasn't stressful enough already.

First Class Trouble originally launched in 2021 and has built up a Mostly Positive reception from Steam players, with thousands of reviews currently recorded on the platform.

"Played the game originally on Epic Games and bought all the supporter packs. Later saw it on sale on Steam, bought it again with all the supporter packs. Game so good I just had to support the devs twice. Best social deduction game out there with mod support coming in the future, I'm actually gonna geek," one review says.

Another simply added, "better than Among Us."

The only major flaw with the title is that it's quite hard to play with randoms, so you really do need to rally the troops to at least go into a lobby with half a fill.

First Class Trouble is free to play on Steam until September 7. After that, you'll need to purchase it if you want to keep playing.
