The two main characters of Out of Words are young teens who are falling in love in a coming-of-age story. But then disaster strikes as they lose their mouths. They try to talk but can’t anymore. Their mouths are sewn shut.

And so begins Out of Words, a co-op platformer adventure. Of all the games that I saw at the Summer Game Fest, this one was the best. The goal of the game is to find the lost voices of the puppet-animated characters. But unfortunately, we’ll have to wait for a while.
