Bokura: Planet

BOKURA: Planet is a puzzle adventure for exactly two players. You and your partner communicate and cooperate to solve puzzles and progress through stages, while each of you sees a different screen and keeps a hidden objective from the other. The game requires two players on separate machines and does not provide its own communication method, so you need another way to talk if you are not together. An estimated playthrough takes about 3 hours.

Story

After Earth is ruined, the survivors rebuild civilization from the Stone Age and eventually reach the age of space exploration. Because a journey to a distant, unknown red planet would take hundreds of years, humanity sends condemned convicts on the expedition. When the spaceship breaks down on the way, two crew members crash-land on the planet. Each has their own reason to return to Earth, and they must find a way to escape alive.

Hidden objectives

As you progress through the stages, each player receives an objective that only they can see. You still need to work together, but you cannot know what your partner has been asked to do. The players share the same setting and events, yet each experiences them from their own perspective.

Push and puzzles

Alongside its cooperative puzzles, the game adds a Push action that can send the other player flying. You may help each other, get in each other's way or push your partner off a cliff, so cooperation is not always straightforward.
