The game Split Fiction, originally available as a digital download and in a physical code-in-box format for the Nintendo Switch 2, now has an additional physical release option in the form of a Game-Key Card. This change comes as the game requires a 75 GB download, making it incompatible with traditional physical game cards. The Game-Key Card serves as a middle ground between the digital download and the physical code-in-box, though some players would have preferred a standard game card.
Developed by Hazelight Studios, the same team behind It Takes Two, which was named game of the year in 2021, Split Fiction is a split-screen cooperative adventure that allows two players to experience opposing narrative universes. The story centers on Mio and Zoe, two writers whose creative worlds are vastly different—one immersed in science fiction and the other in fantasy. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they are trapped in their own narratives after being connected to a machine that attempts to take their creative ideas. Now, they must work together to escape while keeping their memories intact, using their unique skills to overcome challenges and navigate between science fiction and fantasy worlds.
The gameplay of Split Fiction is designed exclusively for two players, with a split-screen mechanic that demands constant coordination. Players must synchronize their actions and reactions to solve puzzles and face obstacles together. The game also includes a feature that allows a player to invite a friend for a cross-platform session using the Friend's Pass, which expands the possibilities for online play.
The adventure in Split Fiction features a variety of sequences where players can tame dragons, fight as cybernetic ninjas, escape from trolls, or dodge flying cars launched by a robot assigned to parking. These quick transitions between vastly different environments and tones highlight the game's goal of surprising players and creating memorable moments meant to be shared between two players.
