How co-op works
Two-player co-op campaign, locally or online in split screen. Mio and Zoe move between science-fiction and fantasy stories, repeatedly gaining different abilities that must be combined to clear platforming, combat, and environmental challenges.
About this game
Split Fiction is a story-driven co-op adventure from Hazelight Studios, the team behind It Takes Two and A Way Out. Two writers find themselves pulled into the fictional worlds of their own stories, and the only way out is to work together across genre-bending levels that shift from sci-fi to fantasy, horror to comedy, and beyond.

Every world introduces new mechanics and puzzles that demand constant communication and coordination. One player might control gravity while the other manipulates time, or you'll split up to solve environmental challenges that converge at the last second. The variety keeps sessions unpredictable, and the playful, theatrical tone makes every twist feel like a shared surprise.
You can play online or local split-screen, with cross-platform support and the Friend's Pass so only one person needs to own the game. Sessions are designed for two players only, turning each chapter into a tightly paced co-op experience that rewards creative teamwork and clear callouts.
