How it feels

A playful but tricky cooperative journey through a whimsical underworld where one player manipulates the environment while the other platform-jumps.

What players say

Players love this as an asymmetric co-op game where one uses VR and the other plays on a flat screen. It is a puzzle platformer that works well for couples and parent-child pairs, though some find the camera controls clunky and many report that Steam Remote Play and newer VR headsets like the Quest 3 have serious issues.
