Hazelight Studios, a game company known for its impressive array of local (and online) multiplayer cooperative experiences, has another game with co-op as the main focus,Split Fiction, which puts players into the shoes of two writers, Mio and Zoe. The former is utterly obsessed with sci-fi, and Zoe is into fantasy. Not going to spoil anything that happens in the beginning, but let’s just say that this unlikely duo will have to work together despite not being a fan of each other’s tastes.
Split Fictioncan only be played cooperatively, which means that you must find a friend who’ll sit with you tocomplete the 12 to 16-hour story. Luckily, the developers have graciously come up with a solution to help players find a co-op buddy, and that’s theFriend’s Pass. With this pass,one person can purchaseSplit Fictionand then share the game with a second player without needing to spend a single dollar(and this can be done online). However, there are some things you should know before trying it out.
