As a reminder, Split Fiction is a cooperative game that tells the story of writers Mio and Zoe. After they are hooked up to a machine that enhances their creative ideas, they find themselves trapped in their own stories, from which they must escape and save their memories. The game received positive reviews from players and critics and became a financial success for developers from Hazelight Studios.
