Split Fiction

This is a cooperative adventure game in which players control two writers through fantastical scenarios after being plugged into a VR-style machine. From a third-person perspective, players solve puzzles, move through platform environments, and engage in combat against soldiers and fantastical creatures. Players use an electrified whip and a laser/light sword to attack enemies; some levels allow players to control machine gun turrets or spaceships that shoot down enemy craft. Combat is highlighted by cries of pain, blood-splatter effects, and explosions. Boss battles also depict violence and/or blood: a hydra getting its head cut off, with blood-splatter effects; characters impaled. A handful of scenes depict crude humor: pigs propelling themselves via flatulence; monkeys throwing feces at characters. The word “sh*t” appears in the game.
