How co-op works
Up to four players cooperate locally, online, or in mixed sessions to explore a handcrafted world alongside a shapeshifting companion, discovering new forms that unlock environmental interactions and progressing through shared narrative quests together.
About this game
Taival is a cozy adventure RPG built around cooperative exploration and a shapeshifting companion who travels with your group. The game supports flexible multiplayer setups: gather friends on one couch, connect online, play over LAN, or mix local and remote players in the same session. Every quest and discovery unfolds as a shared experience, with the companion's evolving abilities opening new paths through the world.

Gameplay revolves around finding new forms for your shapeshifting ally, each bringing distinct interactions with the environment and puzzles that require coordination between players. Narrative quests guide the journey, while the relaxed pacing and approachable design keep the focus on teamwork and discovery rather than combat pressure. The companion acts as both a narrative anchor and a mechanical tool, shaping how your group navigates each area.
Currently in Early Access, Taival continues to expand with new content and systems shaped by player feedback. Sessions scale easily from quick drop-in exploration to longer story-driven treks, and the low-pressure structure accommodates both dedicated groups and rotating rosters. The handcrafted world and progression systems reward curiosity and group experimentation across repeat visits.
