Split Screen Mode with 2 Controllers on 1 Computer?

[🖤omegamäään Ω]

Hey can you please describe this mode a little bit? My wife wants this game but I hate that genre. So I need infos, how we could play together on my computer. We have 2 controllers, a 4K television and a 6800XT GPU. How to play this mode, what action can we do? Or is it just on multiplayer with 2 PCs? thank you.

This game works slightly differently to traditional co-op games. You have to share your controller amongst yourselves. So there's 8 characters to control in this game. To split it equally, you and your wife would control 4 characters each.

This kind of game are great for people not used to gaming, easy control schemes, easy gameplay and really fun in a couch environment with friends or your partner.

You use one controller and pass it to your partner when is his/her character turn.
If the other player has trouble using a controller in some parts, you can keep it but let your partner decide which actions to take, or decide together; it's the perfect game genre for people not use to gaming.

You can also adjust the QTEs and button massing events in the settings to make it easier for those who aren't as familiar with controller layouts.

I highly recommend trying one of Supermassive Game's other shorter experiences while you wait. Their Dark Pictures Anthology games are very similar experiences and less than half the price. All 3 are on sale right now! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/21329/The_Dark_Pictures_Triple_Pack/
Their most recent one, House Of Ashes, is my favourite, followed by Little Hope, and lastly Man Of Medan (their series got better with each new game release!).
