i played solo on two devices because i have no friends, i loved it
i played solo on two devices because i have no friends, i loved it. it took me 5 hours to finish both the past and the present to get all the achievements. not a fan of the 3D style though.

A quiet favourite
My husband and I were searching for a good co-op (actually co-op - not competing against each other, and not something that was combat-based), and I'm deeply deeply into puzzle games. We found that this one was on the cheaper side and rated very well, so decided to give it a try. We both loved it. The story was outstanding. There were no jump-scares per say, but the atmosphere was definitely creepy and at some points I was a little freaked out, which I loved. The puzzles were absolutely 10/10 amazing for co-op, nothing ever got frustrating, and it just worked really well the way it's all laid out and designed. Absolutely worth the money and we WILL be playing it again with me in the other role/with the other insect, possibly doing it 2x more for all achievements. Absolutely outstanding and we both hope to see more co-op puzzle games like this from this developer. If you want a sort of comparison, it's a TINY bit like a simplified version of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, but without a time limit/inherent danger. There is one timed puzzle but it's not that difficult and if you fail, you just start over. As far as we could tell, nothing can stop your progression permanently. It was super fun and engaging to communicate and have dual Eureka moments. Can't wait to run through it again!

This game is all about proper communication with your partner
This game is all about proper communication with your partner. you can spend much longer hours to figure things out or find ways to get each others message across. I highly recommend it and it's worth streaming/recording if you wish to do so and show the world how much of an idiot you both are in communications.
