About the game
You and a friend control two convicts sent into space who crash on a red planet. To find a way home, you move through puzzle rooms, shift objects, operate switches and describe what appears on your screen. Each character also has private information and a reason to return to Earth, so talking openly about every discovery can spoil part of the story.
This campaign requires exactly two players on separate devices. You arrange your own way to talk, then guide each other through obstacles and compare clues. A push move lets you move your partner or send them into trouble. The short adventure mixes dark story turns with lighter moments between friends, and another playthrough lets you see the other role.
