If you have been waiting for the right moment to drag a friend into the chaotic, genre-bending world of Split Fiction, that window just opened. Hazelight Studios has launched a limited-time promotion offering 20% off the base game, running now through December 4, 2025.
Escape the Creative Block
For those who haven't tracked this release since its March launch, Split Fiction continues Hazelight's dominance in the mandatory co-op space. You aren't just running through generic levels; you play as Mio and Zoe, two writers with vastly different styles—one sci-fi, one fantasy—who get trapped inside a machine designed to strip-mine their creativity.
The gameplay hook is distinct because it forces you to reconcile these opposing genres. You have to navigate obstacles that constantly shift between high-tech sci-fi mechanics and fantastical magical elements. It requires tight communication to ensure Mio's tech and Zoe's magic don't clash, but actually synergize to solve puzzles. It is a literal battle of wits against your own imagination, and getting it at a discount makes the entry barrier much lower for duo groups.
Is the Hazelight sale worth it?
Absolutely. Alongside the headline discount for Split Fiction, the studio is practically giving away their back catalog. If you are new to the genre, the current sale includes:
- A Way Out: 80% off
- It Takes Two: 75% off
Considering It Takes Two defined the modern co-op platformer for many, picking it up at 75% off is a no-brainer if it is missing from your library. The sale for all titles wraps up on December 4, so coordinate with your co-op partner sooner rather than later.
