Accessibility Resources
Split Fiction is the new 2-player co-op experience from the “Game of the Year” creators of “It Takes Two”, Hazelight Studios. In this game, you and a friend will help the writers Mio and Zoe overcome the trials and tribulations of their own stories in a myriad of worlds and environments with a lot of different gameplay variations. Remember that thanks to the Friend Pass, only one of the players need to own the game to play the whole experience together, whether locally or online!
