Tick Tock: A Tale for Two coming to Switch with cross-platform play

Tick Tock: A Tale for Two is coming to Switch, Other Tales Interactive announced today. The “two-player adventure game inspired by escape rooms where players cooperate and become storytellers” is planned for Q1 2019.

One of Tick Tock’s hooks is support for cross-platform play. It’s also coming to PC, Mac, iOS, and Android, so you’ll presumably be able to play with users on those platforms.

Here’s an overview for Tick Tock, along with a trailer:

In Tick Tock: A Tale for Two you and your friend get trapped in a game created by the skillful clockmaker Amalie Ravn. In order to escape you need to navigate a magical clock world filled with secrets and puzzles. The only problem is… neither of you have the full picture. Only when you combine the information on your two screens will you have the means to get closer to the truth and your ultimate escape.

Prepare yourselves for a narrative adventure where your communication skills are put to the test. Read out loud to each other, discuss what you see and what you are told, and remember, time is a fickle thing.

Features

– Solve Puzzles with a Friend – Share and combine information with a friend to solve puzzles. Keep your screen hidden from the other player if you want a more challenging experience.
– Experience a Story – Uncover the memories of two sisters and piece together the full story.
– Explore an Eerie World – Enter a world in a hand drawn style where you’ll be able to explore different locations in an eerie village. Visit an old clock shop, investigate rooms with creaky floorboards, and venture down into a dark basement to find answers.
– Cross-Platform Option – This game can be played cross-platform, you just need two devices. So you can play the game on either two computers or on one computer and one phone.
