I know the game is technically single player, but I told my partner the premise of it and she seemed interested. I was thinking one of us could actually be the one using the controller, switch off, whatever, but the idea would be both of us working together to solve the mysteries and shit. Talk through the clues together, decide where to go, that sort of thing. Is that feasible for this game? Haven't actually played it, and if she's down to try, I don't want to start it until she's ready.
That's very feasible. It's also a fantastic game
Yeah, you could very much play the game like that! Have fun, it's awesome!
It's definitely a sort of logic/puzzle game wrapped in a mystery. It's very good, I think it'd be great to play with somebody else
Possibly? You can definitely discuss the various clues, and it's a fairly open-ended game as to what order you resolve the mystery. For a lot of the more complex problems you will have to make a best guess, but there's definitely scope for discussion of your hints given in the game's narrative; there's no time limit or anything like that.
Cool, thanks! She just isn't much of a gamer, she'll definitely go to an arcade with me and has some arcade favorites, but as far as modern stuff goes, Mario Kart wii was the last thing she really got into.
Maybe I should just find a way to map my Playstation controllers to dolphin and just do that.
try Haven. my partner and I loved that one. it's super cute and the co-op works great.
Thanks for the answers, everyone! Definitely gonna play the game this way sometime and see how we feel!
I haven't played it, but I have a close friend that really likes it. And his partner seems to like kind of paying attention and "backseat playing" for lack of a better term. I think working together like you described could be fun.
Yes!! This is exactly how I played it with a friend and I’d even say it’s superior to playing it alone. Having two pairs of eyes really helped us catch things that would’ve resulted in some annoying backtracking solo. Go for it
me and my partner play single player games together all the time… either share the controller or the puzzle solving / gameplay decisions or both and its a good time
Awesome! Yeah, I was just checking that there were any gameplay mechanics that might prohibit that somehow or something like that, or make it not fun with 2 people, you know?
I've played it that way, but the best one is probably Night in the Woods where you both pick characters then voice them. There are 4 charters to voice. Only one person plays, but you can also hand that off whenever, the real fun is the voice over stuff
Wait, thats an actual mechanic? Like, the computer picks up your voice as part of the gameplay?
No lol, it's just a fun way to play it. You get to give everyone voices and it's fun. The dialogue is very much written to be read out loud
It's very good but tbh it is a little slow abd not the mostttt gripping. Really worth playing though. I'm of the opinion that primarily talking games (disco elysium, ect) are the best for playing with friends.
I can see that working really well if you're both mystery fans. I think it took me something like 12 hours solo.
