How co-op works
Two-player local co-op controlling Yarnys connected by a single thread. Partners run, jump, slide, and swing through platforming puzzles, using the tether and mutual support to cross hazards and complete trials that keep both characters moving together.
About this game
Unravel Two is a puzzle-platformer built around cooperative teamwork, starring two small yarn creatures who must rely on each other to navigate beautiful but hazardous environments. While you can play solo by switching between both characters, the game truly shines in local co-op, where constant communication and coordination drive every puzzle and platforming sequence.

Players swing, climb, and tie knots to solve environmental challenges that require both Yarnys working in sync. One might anchor a swing while the other leaps across a gap, or both will need to pull and push objects together to clear a path. The gentle pacing and forgiving checkpoints keep frustration low, but the puzzles demand genuine attention and teamwork.
Local couch co-op is the core experience, with support for single-screen play, split-screen views when characters separate, and Steam Remote Play Together for online sessions. The game fosters a calm, cooperative rhythm that rewards patience and clear communication between partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Unravel Two online with a friend?
The game is designed for local couch co-op, but you can play online with a friend using Steam Remote Play Together, which streams the game to your partner over the internet.
Is Unravel Two playable solo, or do I need a second player?
You can play solo by switching control between both Yarnys yourself. However, the game is built around cooperative teamwork and really shines when you play with a partner in local co-op.
How important is communication in co-op play?
Communication is essential. The puzzles require both players to coordinate actions-like one anchoring while the other swings, or pulling objects together-so you'll need to talk through solutions and time your movements together.
Does the screen split when playing co-op?
The game uses single-screen play when both Yarnys are close together, but switches to split-screen views when the characters move far apart from each other.
