It Takes Two

It Takes Two is an action-adventure cooperative game from Hazelight Studios - and follows married couple Cody and May on the outs of their relationship. After telling their daughter they're getting a divorce, her heartfelt wish to keep them together transforms them into clay and yarn dolls that must reconcile their differences to return to normal. Guided by the eccentric relationship guru book Dr. Hakim, Cody and May will embark on an epic journey in their home (and backyard) to get to the root of their problems.
