How co-op works

Exactly two players control Wyv and Keep locally or through native online co-op across the full campaign. They push blocks, hold pressure switches, use one another as footholds, dodge traps, and coordinate timed movements so both treasure hunters reach each level’s exit alive.

About this game

Wyv and Keep: The Temple of the Lost Idol drops two treasure hunters into an ancient Amazonian temple packed with fiendish puzzles and lethal hazards. This is true co-op puzzle platforming where every room demands that both players coordinate their movements and solve problems together to escape alive. Each character has different abilities, and success requires genuine teamwork rather than just extra bodies.

Players navigate 60 increasingly devious levels by manipulating switches, dodging traps, and using each other to reach otherwise impossible areas. Quick reflexes matter, but communication is the real currency here. One wrong step can doom the run, so partners must constantly call out plans and react to hazards in real time. The challenge ramps up quickly, making every cleared room feel earned.

The game supports local co-op on a single screen, where two players share the same view, and also works via Steam Remote Play Together for online sessions. That shared-screen setup creates natural moments of tension and laughter as players scramble to survive together, making every puzzle a fast-paced, conversation-heavy sprint to the exit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play this solo or do I need a second player?

While the game does support single-player, Wyv and Keep is designed as a true co-op experience where each character has different abilities. Playing solo means controlling both characters yourself, which can be tricky since the puzzles are built around two people coordinating in real time.

Can we play online or is it local co-op only?

You can play both locally and online. Local co-op uses a single shared screen where both players see the same view. For online play, you can use Steam Remote Play Together to share your screen with a remote partner.

How important is communication in this game?

Communication is essential. The puzzles require constant coordination and quick reactions from both players, so you'll need to actively talk through plans and call out dangers as they happen. It's not a game where you can just silently play alongside each other.

How difficult are the puzzles?

The game has 60 levels that get progressively harder. Early puzzles teach you the mechanics, but the challenge ramps up quickly. Expect to die frequently as you and your partner figure out the timing and coordination needed to survive each room's traps and hazards.
