About

Split Fiction is a co-operative action game where two players take on the roles of Mio and Zoe, two writers with contrasting styles—one sci-fi, the other fantasy. After being connected to a machine designed to steal their creative ideas, they find themselves trapped within their own stories. To escape and retain their memories, they must rely on each other, mastering diverse abilities and overcoming challenges as they jump between sci-fi and fantasy worlds. This co-op action-adventure emphasizes unexpected moments and teamwork, requiring players to adapt to wildly different scenarios, from taming dragons to battling as cyber ninjas. The game has 8 chapters with various sub-levels within those chapters.

The co-op element is central to the gameplay experience, with many challenges designed to be overcome through teamwork. One player might distract an enemy while the other sneaks past, or combine their abilities to create powerful combo attacks. As the adventure progresses, players unlock new abilities and story branches, allowing for multiple playthroughs with different outcomes based on their choices and cooperative strategies.

This game is co-op multiplayer only. There is no single-player mode, and it is not possible to finish the game unless a second player is present. As was the case with It Takes Two, when connecting via online multiplayer, only the host needs to own the game, while the joining player can use the Friend's Pass - a free version of the game that can only connect to players who have purchased the full version.
