How co-op works
Player one controls the protagonist and a magic brush through the full local campaign; player two controls a second brush rather than another character. Both paint the shared screen to reveal routes, activate environmental reactions, assist puzzles, and decorate the world.
About this game
Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a heartwarming top-down adventure built around painting every corner of a once-colorless world. You play as a dog wielding a magical brush, exploring an expressive coloring book landscape, solving puzzles by painting surfaces, and meeting quirky characters who remember every splash of color you leave behind. The game supports local co-op, letting a second player join with their own brush to help paint and puzzle-solve together.

Painting is more than decoration: you unlock new abilities, reveal hidden paths, and interact with the environment in creative ways. Co-op transforms this into a shared canvas where both brushes work in tandem, whether you're solving platforming puzzles, decorating the world to your taste, or helping friends with requests. Communication matters as you figure out which colors and strokes will open the next area.
Local couch co-op and Steam Remote Play Together let two players share the same screen, brush in hand. Sessions become a creative collaboration, blending puzzle-solving with freeform art and gentle exploration that rewards patience and imagination.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does co-op work in Chicory?
A second player can join locally with their own magical brush. Both players share the same screen and work together to paint, solve puzzles, and explore. You can play on the couch or remotely via Steam Remote Play Together.
Does the second player have the same abilities as player one?
Yes, the second player gets their own brush and can paint alongside you. Both brushes work in tandem to solve puzzles, reveal paths, and decorate the world together.
Is Chicory better solo or co-op?
Both work beautifully. Solo gives you full creative control, while co-op turns the experience into a collaborative canvas where you coordinate colors and puzzle solutions together. It's more about sharing the creative journey than difficulty.
Can I play Chicory with someone remotely?
Yes, through Steam Remote Play Together. One player hosts the game and streams it while the other joins remotely, both painting and exploring as if you were on the same couch.
