How it plays
In Duo mode each player has a controllerOne plays Jodie, the other the spirit Aiden, and the game hands control back and forth as scenes require.
It feels like steering a film together and talking over its choices, so it suits couples and friends who enjoy story games more than action.
There is no online play; on PC, Remote Play Together lets the second player join from another computer without a copy.
