It was the game award tonight, which means a year of Josef Fars appeared on stage to perform “damn” like he thought it was naughty. Fortunately this year, he also has a game to show: Split Fiction, a new co-op action adventure. It is about two ambitious authors, a science fiction writer and an illusion writer, sucked in and must exist in their own fiction.

Farewell novels take place in the near future, where a technology company can turn people’s stories into a virtual world. Insert your comments about the general one here. In this case, the main characters Mio and Zoe were pushed into their own stories, but they were strangers and they had to survive in dangerous, collapsed worlds when they knew each other.
The levels seem to interfere between science fiction, with robots and explosions and networks, and a fantasy world of dragons. Both world seems … a little cliché? But perhaps it is intentional that these worlds, in novels, are created by new writers. Perhaps they will develop and learn and become better in building the world at the end of the game.
Yes, I am giving it too much credit. The divided novel is from Hazelight, the developers of other cooperative games such as exit and two. I played it two and it was quite good, because it constantly changes the settings and mechanics in a way that keeps it fresh and surprising. However, it is not special coherent, and there is often very few relationships between the plot or emotional beat and Mecha-Contration you are piloting while killing bees for some reasons.
In all cases, I want to divide the novel. It also had a release date: March 6, 2025.
