From the creators of the critically acclaimed Life Is Strange comes this two-part adventure game with a punk rock twist.

Split Fiction takes losing yourself in a good book to a whole new level. Much like Hazelight Studio’s predecessor It Takes Two, this co-op split-screen adventure requires two players, who each assume control of either Zoe or Mio – two authors who have become trapped in their own fantasy and sci-fi stories respectively. To break free of these two worlds, you and your partner will have to overcome a series of surprising challenges, from escaping a sun that’s gone supernova and commanding dragons to riding sand sharks and challenging a monkey to a dance battle. Good luck!
