A Way Out devs announce co-op platformer It Takes Two

Following the cooperative crime story of A Way Out, builders Hazelight at the moment introduced a cooperative platformer, It Takes Two. Love a little bit of co-op, that lot. It Takes Two is a few wee child who tries to flee her mother and father’ impending divorce by creating two toys of them to play with, who magically come alive, so we’ll be controlling them in her escapist fantasies.

“You could say you’re almost controlling their emotions, you’re almost playing their emotions,” Hazelight founder Josef Fares mentioned. “There’s even levels where we’re actually making a mechanic for [the dolls’] emotions, so again: marrying the story and the mechanics. And I think for the players that’s going to feel very new, different, and unique, they haven’t played anything like this before.” He would’ve cherished indie puzzle-platformers a decade in the past.

It Takes Two is because of launch in 2021. For now, its web site has… no information.

Kevin Wong performed Hazelight’s final along with his spouse for our A Way Out review, and located they slipped into the characters, having began out making an attempt to analyse conditions logically and tactically. “But the deeper we delved into the game, the less we were debating as Barbara and Kevin, and the more we were debating as Vincent and Leo. We had identified with our characters, and we were advocating for their respective views and wants. Usually, in the course of gameplay, a game’s character becomes an avatar for you. But A Way Out accomplishes something far more subversive and bold. Eventually, for better or for worse, you become an avatar for your character.”
