I'm doing game design analysis this weekend, after replaying - It Takes Two by @hazelightgames.bsky.social
In focus:
How do you design a game - that couples can use a therapy?
Core: Treat both the players equally.

- offensive outputs
- dialogue repetition
- NPCs giving world breaking outputs
- version mismatch or delays
even if you covered all of these, you cannot IGNORE
- NPC sounding boring
- low sales

1/d Narrative games risk players feeling railroaded, how can that be avoided?
> Plot can be fixed, but choices like paths or dialogues or even side activities - add flavor without branching excessively

1/b In most co-op games up until then, Player 1 would lead while Player 2 followed.
But this game changed that. It introduced scenes where both players were compelled to rely on each other’s help.
