Trapped in two imaginations
Mio writes sci-fi, Zoe writes fantasy, and a machine meant to take their ideas locks them inside both. You play one writer, your partner plays the other, working to break free with memories intact. That setup gives the whole trip its shape: contrasting stories colliding, friendship building as you go. You tame adorable dragons in one stretch, then fight as cyber ninjas or dodge hover cars thrown by a robotic parking attendant in another.
Built for two, start to finish
This is co-op only, in split screen locally or online, and every obstacle expects two people. You master a new set of abilities in each world, cover each other through fights and chases, and combine moves to clear platforming and puzzles. One of you opens the way so the other can get through, then you switch roles on the next beat. It stays lively because neither of you can sit out and watch.
Always changing shape
The levels keep swapping genres and tools instead of repeating one idea. You escape terrifying trolls in a fantasy stretch, then land in a sci-fi run with different movement, combat and puzzles. Third-person action turns into 3D platforming, then into puzzle platforming with timing and teamwork. Side stories branch off with their own goofy rules, which keeps the pace quick. The look stays colorful and cinematic throughout, with fantasy forests and strange tech worlds trading places.
Funny and a little strange
The tone is weird and wild on purpose, with jokes built into the abilities and encounters. A parking robot hurling hover cars at you tells you most of what to expect. The story follows two very different writers learning to rely on each other, and the dialogue leans playful. The story divides players: some find it warm, others cringe-worthy. Come for the shared action and laughs more than a deep plot.
Good to know before you pair up?
Do we both need to own the game?
No. Only one of you needs a copy, and the other joins with a Friend's Pass, locally in split screen or online, including across platforms.
What do we actually do together?
You fight, climb, jump and solve puzzles as a pair, each with different abilities that only work when combined. Expect cyber ninja fights, dragon taming, troll escapes and plenty of timed platforming.
Is it hard if one of us rarely plays games?
It is welcoming to less experienced players, though a little tougher than the studio's last co-op game. Checkpoints are kind and abilities change often, so neither of you is stuck on one skill for long.
