Any plans to release online co-op?

My friends are in a different continent, so local isn't much of an option for us XD im really hoping for online co-op.

Fortunately, local coop is online coop thanks to various tools, from Steam Remote Play to Parsec. My friend group uses the latter and it works pretty well.

How does that work exactly? Would it be like, split-screen but everybody sees your screen and plays on it remotely?

Think of it as closer to being you doing a screenshare with your buddy, and they play off that. Host streams the game display to the client, input (mouse, keyboard, controller) is forwarded to host. So you'll need a connection between you and friend, or it'll be laggy for them.

As per the official steam remote play page:
" Using Remote Play Together, you’ll stream video, audio, and voice between players while using your own controllers. You can even share the keyboard and mouse. And while you’re playing, all your voice chat and game volume options are available in one place.
To keep things simple, only the game is displayed to your Friends, never your desktop or other Top Secret stuff. You can share — or limit access to — the keyboard and mouse. It’s your choice. "

Local co op isn't great at all, since only one person can have unlocked characters
- plus the remote co op is horrible it is based on the host and can lag both we need actual multiplayer co op and not this fabrication.

P2P Co-op is more than fine for the average user. The average user typically being the 95%. A game like this wouldn't need a lot to host. Games like warframe use p2p hosting, phasmophobia, etc.
