This is a game for couples. This is a game for parents.

It's a creative and varied platforming adventure, always changing. It's goofy, it's light-hearted, it rarely feels difficult. It's also low stakes: you're not trying to save the world, you're trying to save your world: mending your broken relationship by following the inappropriate advice of a macho counselling book, by traversing levels that all represent or explore different aspects of the relationship.

There are few games that fill the niche or "i want to play a story game with my partner" as well as this one does. It's not a story game with co-op added as an afterthought: it's made to be played by two people who bicker and yet work together, who get randomly competitive with mundane tasks.

I initially had my reservations about the theme (sometimes couples don't work out, and trying to make them hold artificially isn't good for anyone), but the game avoids the kind of mistakes i was afraid about, and ends up just being charming.
