It Takes Two is coming on March 26.

Josef Fares interview: Why you’re going to love It Takes Two

Josef Fares‘ next creation is It Takes Two, a co-op adventure game coming on March 26 from Electronic Arts and Fares’ Hazelight Studios.

The game is once again a couch two-player co-op adventure game where you play Cody and May, a bickering couple. On the verge of telling their daughter that they’re getting a divorce, they suddenly turn into small wooden dolls. They’re trapped in a fantastical world, and the only way out is to cooperate. To change back, they have to fix their relationship. It’s like a marriage-counseling adventure, coming from the same imaginative minds that made A Way Out.
