You play as one of two characters, both unpublished writers. They have joined as test subjects for an experiment that allows them to live inside their ideas—to truly experience their stories. However, an incident occurs, and hijinks ensue. After experiencing their stories, I understand why they are unpublished writers. I’m not sure if that was the intent, but the writing is not subtle. They never learn to show instead of tell. You enter a new world and a character might say that something feels off, yet the world seems identical to the one before. You can journey through a fantasy land with gorgeous views and landscapes. However, as you finish the story, you get told it was supposed to honor a lost family member. Yet, nothing you experienced truly reflected that theme. The only “connection” comes from a name on a plaque, location, or a side character. The dialogue is also overly drawn out and often pointless. When you enter a new world (story), the writer might say something like, "Let me tell you about this world that I created, so it will help us on our journey." But then they share the most unhelpful information, like, "I went to a zoo as a kid, where I once saw a monkey die." Okay… and how is that supposed to help me? It broke my immersion every time. Since none of the stories or side adventures have a cohesive story arc, all of them feel empty and forgettable. Every short story feels more like concept art—ideas rather than fully realized narrative experience. One moment, you’re in a snowboarding section with robots trying to kill you; a bit later, you’re running from trolls, and next you’re climbing a mountain with giants. In the end, I felt like I was playing some of the developer's scrapped projects. Some of the same issues I had with It Takes Two also exist in this game, so if you didn’t enjoy that one, you might want to give this a pass. If you're looking for a thoughtful and emotional story, this might not be for you. However, if you're just looking for some easy fun to play with a friend, you might find some enjoyment here.
