Flight of the Swallow is a story-driven bondage-themed erotic 3D adventure game that puts you in the shoes of Sandra "Sandy" Curnow, a flight engineer aboard the Diomeda spaceship.
You control Sandy’s body and limbs using a physically simulated active ragdoll system to navigate through the ship in low- and zero-gravity environments, with regular movement being possible when in low orbit.
As you explore the ship’s various sections in challenging traversal sequences and struggle out of restraints in bondage escape scenarios, you’ll get to interact and build relationships with the ship’s crew, unfolding the story through cutscenes and dialogue while trying to figure out why you woke up stripped and in handcuffs one day.
The current prologue version of the game covers the first day of the story, providing several hours of playtime, with day two currently in development.

Changelog:
v0.9.11.3
– Fix: When starting a new game, Sandy would collide with stuff inside the ship, stuff she isn’t meant to collide with. This bug appeared in 0.9.11.1 and wasn’t a game-breaker, but was definitely annoying and confusing for a new player.
– Fix: When repairing the ragdoll or changing outfit while in FPV, the FPV voice channel would change to the TPV voice channel and that bug would survive a reload (we had to restart the game to fix it). This was because FPV uses the player agent’s audio source rather than Sandy’s, and repairing the ragdoll while in FPV modified said audio source. And the player agent remains active in the main menu, it’s never unloaded.
– Fix: Going to the main menu did not stop the delayed actions from some specific triggers in the Space scene, which never unloads (it contains the space, the planet, the ship subsystems, and a few general triggers for power, engines and lights). As a result, loading a game with Sandy in Virginia’s room for the second time, with DAL preparing to fire up the engines to 1 G one minute later, but immediately going to the main menu, would unload all the scenes except the Root and Space ones, making that trigger still count down. And if we loaded a save before the countdown reaches zero, DAL would fire up the engines in any other save we would be loading at the time, since the countdown was still active. Yes, that’s a very specific bug and it’s like 2 years-old. No wonder nobody found it until now.
– Fix: The star should be less pixelized now. It’s also bigger, but it might not stay that big in the future.
– Fix: Automatically self-refreshing reflection probes (such as the one in Sandy’s room) would make the environment flash for a split second every period. In Sandy’s room that would happen every 10 seconds. The flash in itself isn’t a bug but a workaround for a much more annoying bug that isn’t even from my code, but self-refreshing probes should not require that workaround in the first place.
Developer Notes:
This is a complex and challenging game. Not because it is hard on purpose, but because you mostly float in zero-G, in 3 dimensions, and you have to use a controller to navigate. Well, that’s not entirely true anymore. Since v0.9.1, the game supports keyboard and mouse controls.
Flight of the Swallow is a game of skill. Sandy won’t gain levels or learn new powers, but you, the player, will. Every step along the way is a new challenge, an increasingly difficult one. The very first one, when Sandy asks you to "grab that handle over there", you will wonder how the hell you’ll manage that feat. But if you persevere, fulfill the challenge and keep going further, you will realize that this very first challenge was child’s play, in comparison to what comes after. You might want to give up at some point. Don’t. This game requires precision and patience, but Sandy gives you all the tools you need to beat it, and more. She’s a resourceful girl. Show her that you are too.
Author’s approach to the 256 limit issue:
Attention : If you get an error while decompressing the files, it is probably because of the voice files. Some of them are very long (for example when DAL says "attention, all personnel, aligning with the retrograde orbital vector now, blah blah blah"). To fix this, unzip in a folder with a very short path (not just the name, the whole path), for example "C:\FOTS", and move the files elsewhere afterwards. This is because Windows has some limitations when it comes to path lengths. If it still happens even with a short path, try to decompress the archive with a right-click and using 7zip’s menu item, instead of the regular Windows extractor, that helps too.
