About This Game

Unravel Two is a puzzle-platformer where players guide two small, anthropomorphic creatures made of yarn, called Yarnys, connected by a single thread. It can be played solo, switching between Yarnys, or in local co-op. The core gameplay involves using the connecting yarn to solve physics-based puzzles, swing across gaps, climb, and manipulate the environment. The game emphasizes cooperative problem-solving, friendship, and exploration through an immersive, wordless story.
