Short and fun

Played this with my husband while I had Covid. Generally clear what to do - we didn't need to google anything, and got through in 99 min. Very neat, especially considering the small team behind it. Like a neat little escape room.

It's a short puzzle game that needs to be played in offline co-op. Each player has different information and need to communicate to solve the puzzles. It's similar to Get Together but it's much smarter because the information is much more asymmetrical. And the style and story is creepy (reminds me of the Rusty Lake series), which I liked more.

A nice co-op puzzle game

It's a nice game! I enjoyed it, and both the story and puzzles were interesting. The art is lovely, and it's a simple point and click gameplay. I think the only thing that was disappointing was that there wasn't a server. So while you can each play a character at the same time and solve puzzles together, you're not playing …

It's a nice game! I enjoyed it, and both the story and puzzles were interesting. The art is lovely, and it's a simple point and click gameplay. I think the only thing that was disappointing was that there wasn't a server. So while you can each play a character at the same time and solve puzzles together, you're not playing online within the game. It's self-contained. I think it would have been cool to have some sort of live connection.

It's not an expensive game, at it is pretty cool if you're looking for something to play with a partner or long-distance friend or relative.

A short but sweet puzzle game where communication is key. Some of the puzzles took some time to figure out but they aren't too difficult overall. It's fun to piece together parts of the storyline together with the other player. The ending really surprised me (in a good way)!

Fun Puzzle Game For Two People

This is a fun but light puzzle game I recommend if you have a friend that also enjoys these types of games. It's interesting to me that you don't actually need to have the two players "connected" to play. All you need is to be able to talk to each other, and both of you can play offline together.

This is a fun but light puzzle game I recommend if you have a friend that also enjoys these types of games. It's interesting to me that you don't actually need to have the two players "connected" to play. All you need is to be able to talk to each other, and both of you can play offline together. Anyways, some puzzles be pretty casual, such as one player has the first half of a sentence and the other obviously has the other half and you'll need to combine then. Then you'll also encounter some puzzles that will leave both of you scratching your head until one has an epiphany "ah ha!" moment. But nothing too difficult. Generally you'll be very limited in the places available to explore so you'll know the exact clue you haven't deciphered yet which makes it easy but limits the frustration. You'll probably beat it in 2 to 3 hours.

This is a nice little co-op adventure game that has you and a friend (on different systems) working out puzzles together. You each have half the necessary clues to work with, and have to relay that information to each other so you know what answers to input into the various puzzle devices. A friend and I played this one on our Switch Lites, and used phones or laptops for Google chat to talk to each other (having Notepad open was helpful too). Communication is key for this one -- at first you'll wonder what details you should be relaying to your friend, but after a while you start to figure out how all the puzzles generally work. Thankfully this isn't a very difficult game (We didn't have to look anything up online for help), nor is it very long (I think we finished in about 3 hours). This game is also available on PC and phones. I recommend this to anyone who has an afternoon to kill with a friend -- it's also the sort of title that I think is very approachable for those who are not into video games, so long as they can enjoy solving puzzles.
