How co-op works

Two local players control Yu and Kay, with one leading each glide while the follower cleans rust and gathers resources; leadership can swap when stopped. In combat each commands one character, combining shields, stuns, attacks, revives, and shared dialogue choices.

About this game

Haven follows Yu and Kay, two lovers who fled their old lives to settle on a mysterious, shattered planet called Source. Playing solo or in local co-op, you control both characters as they explore floating islands, gather resources, and defend their fragile new home from a corrupting force known as rust. The co-op mode lets each player steer one character through shared exploration and synchronized combat.

Gliding over lush biomes and piecing together the fragments of Source forms the heart of the experience. Combat unfolds in real-time duels where timing, combo chains, and coordination decide each encounter. The flow between exploration, crafting, cooking, and quiet downtime aboard the Nest creates a rhythm that feels intimate and personal.

Haven supports local couch co-op with both shared-screen and split-screen views, plus Steam Remote Play Together for online sessions. The constant communication and mirrored decision-making make it a natural fit for couples or close friends who enjoy narrative-driven adventures that reward teamwork and trust.
