About this game
Once Before Us is a cooperative puzzle adventure for two players.
Communication and observation are the only ways forward - every riddle, mechanism, and clue requires teamwork and focus. Together, you’ll explore forgotten places, solve challenges that test both logic and connection.
- Two-Player Co-op – Built entirely around collaboration. Every puzzle requires both players to act, react, and think together. No solo mode.
- Challenging Puzzles – Each area introduces new ways to communicate and coordinate. Attention to detail and clear teamwork are key.
- Environmental Interactions – Push, pull, trigger, and combine elements to solve physical and logical challenges.
- Narrative Element – The players are guided by someone who speaks to them along the way. They don’t know who he is or why he’s helping - at least, not yet.
- Occasional Tension – While not a horror game, some moments may surprise or disturb.
You and your partner are not just solving puzzles – you're uncovering what was once before you… and perhaps, what’s still ahead.
