Beyond: Two Souls follows Jodie Holmes across different stages of her life as she navigates a world shaped by her connection to Aiden, a mysterious supernatural entity. You play as Jodie and, at key moments, as Aiden, whose presence can affect people and the environment.
Explore story scenes, make dialogue and action choices, and respond to quick-time events during tense sequences. Jodie’s chapters also include activities such as stealth, combat, and driving, while Aiden can move objects, influence people, and help Jodie through obstacles.
The story is divided into chapters that can be played in their original, non-chronological order or in chronological order. Choices and actions affect some events and outcomes. The game offers solo and local co-op play, with a second player able to control Aiden.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its emotional, character-focused story, Jodie’s journey, and the performances and cinematic atmosphere. The unusual ability to switch between Jodie and Aiden is another recurring draw. Critical reviews often describe the gameplay as limited and the controls or camera as awkward; some also find the chapter order disruptive to pacing. Several reviewers object to the game’s depiction of China and its military.
