Overview
Description

Chariot is a physics‑driven couch co‑op platformer that tasks a brave princess and her suitor with pulling a funeral wagon through ancient, gem‑filled caves. Players must swing on the chariot’s massive wheels, grapple across chasms, and fend off swarms of looters while gathering riches for the dead king’s tomb. The game blends puzzle‑solving, strategic loot collection, and comedic storytelling, offering both single‑player and cooperative modes. With skill‑testing coordination and a light‑hearted tone, Chariot delivers a family‑friendly adventure across multiple environments.

Developed by Double Fine Productions and legendary game designer Ron Gilbert, The Cave is a 2D puzzle-platform adventure game where players assemble a team of three unique characters from a selection of seven eccentric adventurers. Each character possesses distinct personalities and special abilities that unlock different paths and stories as you explore a vast, sentient subterranean world. Journey through bizarre and unexpected locations including a subterranean amusement park, a medieval castle, and a fully armed nuclear ICBM silo. Combining exploration, character swapping, and clever puzzle-solving, the game offers a darkly comedic adventure that reveals the inner depths of each adventurer as they seek what matters most to them.
