About the Game

Two players. One body. No chance of agreeing.

An evil sorcerer pulled one friend's soul out and put it inside the other. Ever since, the two of you have shared a single body: one drives its left half, the other the right — and so it will be until you find a way to put everything back.

Nobody walks ahead alone: the body listens to you both at once, and the moment you pull in different directions it shuffles in place and goes down.

What lies ahead

  • Climbing, hauling and carrying what one hand cannot hold — you have exactly two arms between you
  • Falling, and losing ground you paid for: height punishes both of you at once
  • Casting the fishing rod like a grappling hook and pulling yourselves where a jump will not reach
  • Going higher: the cloud market, the sky harbour, the fortress, and the ruins at the end of the road
  • Learning to feel your partner — saying «jump on three» is much easier than leaving the ground the moment you alone decide to

Who to walk with

Play with a friend from your Steam list, or drop into an open room with a stranger. The chemistry is different with everyone, and the only way to find it is to try.

At the end of the road

One of your bodies lies at the top of the world, waiting for its owner to come home. Bring him back, and each of you is yourself again.
