The Game Awards trailer only teased a small handful of the experiences that Split Fiction offers.

It’s so f**king cool, y’all.

Video games are really amazing with what they can accomplish sometimes.

Glitches allow Mio and Zoe to go back and forth between the former’s sci-fi world and the latter’s fantasy one.

Split Fiction also has a much more positive vibe than It Takes Two, leaning into buddy-cop movie tropes.

Mio is into sci-fi and thinks fantasy is silly.

Zoe is into fantasy and thinks sci-fi is loud and terrible.

Like Hazelight’s previous games, each player must work together to proceed through each level.

Mio is from the city.

Zoe is from the countryside.

You get the point–they’re opposites.

During the preview, Fares showed me a few of the side stories.

Others look very silly.

A few seem to have the capacity to be deeply emotionally rewarding.

More than anything, though, I came away from my time with Split Fiction deeply impressed.

Folks are in for a treat with this one.
