Official artwork © Starbreeze / 505 GamesWhat you do
Guide two brothers at the same time, one on each stick, cooperating to solve puzzles across a fantasy land.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants a short, emotional story. Lovely to share on the sofa with one stick each.
01The first hour
Controlling two characters at once feels odd for ten minutes, then natural. The brothers' different personalities show in every little interaction.
02The middle
Giants, trolls and strange landscapes follow, with puzzles that always need both brothers.
03Where to stop
Chapters are short and clearly marked. One long evening is perfect, and the ending is best played without a break.
Why it works

- A powerful ending
- Short and complete
Watch out for
