Communication is not an option in Bokura – it’s a must. Designed for two players and two players alone, you and a fellow runaway of your choosing will have to work together on this puzzle adventure. The twist? You’ll be seeing wildly different worlds!

What we love: Finding a way forward through the initial confusion. One player is placed into a storybook-like world filled with animals, and the other is plunged into a desolate, mechanical landscape. There are also mechanisms that only one of you can operate, so it takes real cooperation to figure out how you can forge ahead together.

Quick tip: Talk things out before making a decision. There’s no detail too small, and every choice you make changes the story. The unexpected conversations are part of the fun.
