Two writers stuck in their own stories
Mio writes sci-fi, Zoe writes fantasy, and a machine meant to steal their ideas locks them inside both. You play one, your co-op friend plays the other, jumping between futures and fairy tales while you try to break out with memories intact. You tame dragons in one stretch, then fight as cyber ninjas, run from trolls, or dodge hover cars thrown by a robotic parking attendant. The story divides players, but the setup keeps every level personal to one of you.
A new trick in every world
Nothing sticks around long enough to get stale. One world is third-person shooting and chases, the next is 3D platforming and puzzle-platforming, with side stories, mini-games, and pinball thrown in. You master a fresh set of abilities each time, then drop them for the next idea. That constant swap is the point, and the reason co-op friends who like variety stay awake. Expect action-adventure with puzzles, not a long grind on one power set.
Made for two, not one plus one
This is a co-op campaign through and through, playable in split screen, local co-op, and online co-op. Progress depends on timing, positioning, and using your different abilities together to clear fights and platforming stretches. One of you opens the way while the other moves through it, then you switch roles. Bring co-op friends who talk, because quiet duos will find their own creative ways to blame each other.
Colorful, cinematic, and a little strange
The look is bright and cinematic, with sci-fi cities and fantasy wilds cutting against each other. It is funny on purpose, with odd detours like pig transformations, dancing contests, and a dentist fight that has no business being taken seriously. The tone is story-driven without long pauses, built to keep both screens busy.
Good to know?
Do I need a co-op partner to play?
Yes. Split Fiction is designed around two players, Mio and Zoe, working together through the whole campaign. It supports split screen, local co-op, and online co-op, so pick the setup that lets you and your co-op friends coordinate easily.
What do we actually do moment to moment?
Run, climb, platform, solve small puzzles, and fight through paired abilities that change by world. You might guide dragons in a fantasy stretch, then switch to cyber ninja moves, stealth, shooting, and chases in sci-fi. Side stories add short detours with their own rules.
How do the sci-fi and fantasy worlds connect?
Both come from the two writers. Mio brings the tech, robots, and hover cars, Zoe brings dragons, trolls, and magic. The machine glitch mashes their drafts together, so levels keep cutting between genres instead of settling in one.
Is the story serious or funny?
Both, mostly funny with emotional bits about friendship. The banter is broad and the situations are deliberately silly, which suits co-op friends who enjoy joking through cutscenes. The story divides players, so come for the partnership and the changing worlds more than a tidy plot.
