Designed as a collaborative, playful space for couples, this non-violent game aims to foster intimacy and communication between players.

- Blanc

Blanc is a heartwarming cooperative adventure game featuring a cute animal duo: a fawn and a wolf pup. They get separated from their families after a blizzard and must work together to reunite with their loved ones. The game's beautiful hand-drawn art style and snowy landscapes create a picturesque setting for the players to navigate. The puzzles are engaging and charming, with each animal having unique abilities to help solve them. While Blanc shines in its first half, the second half suffers from repetitive puzzles and technical issues that impact the overall experience. The game is best played in co-op mode and offers a few hours of enjoyable, lighthearted gameplay for couples to bond over.

Tips: Communication is key: As with any cooperative game, communication between players is essential in Blanc. Discuss your strategies and work together to overcome challenges. Make use of each character's abilities: The fawn and the wolf pup each have unique abilities that will help you solve puzzles. The fawn can push objects with its head, while the wolf pup can bite and pull. Make sure to utilize both abilities effectively.
