Split Fiction

Sci-fi writer Mio and fantasy writer Zoe are pulled into their own stories by a machine designed to steal creative ideas. Trapped in worlds shaped by their writing, they must work together to find a way out.

Built for two players, the adventure can be played locally or online. Players coordinate across platforming challenges, puzzles, combat, and other changing scenarios, often using different abilities or handling separate parts of a shared task.

The journey moves between sci-fi and fantasy settings, introducing new mechanics and abilities as chapters progress. Optional side stories add further challenges, while the split-screen view can shift as the characters move through a scene.

In the supplied reviews, players repeatedly praise the steady stream of new mechanics and imaginative settings, along with challenges that make both partners coordinate. Many describe the experience as funny and memorable to share, and some highlight the optional side stories. Criticism more often targets the story as predictable or less compelling than the gameplay; some also found sections frustrating or felt the game’s strict two-player design made finding a partner essential.
