This Side

This Side is a two-player co-op roguelike survival game about two friends helping each other escape a dangerous place. One player explores an abandoned mine while the other works outside to support them and influence the mine’s environment.

Work together

Both players need to help each other to finish the game. The mine’s layout is not procedurally generated, but other elements are. The two players take different roles, each facing hazards in their own environment.

Inside the mines

Inside the abandoned mine, you find a way through cave-ins and flooded areas. The player outside can provide resources such as healing supplies and paint sprays to help you navigate.

Outside the mines

Outside, you search an unmapped area for ways to help your friend and control conditions inside the mine. You also face storms and lightning that can strike at any time.

Survival systems

The game’s current version does not include the planned survival mechanics for both players. Those mechanics are intended to reflect each player’s environment and make survival more cooperative without overwhelming players with resource management.
