About With You
With You is a short, cooperative two‑player puzzle playground created in 2019 as a solo MFA thesis project. It is free to play and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
The game presents wordless, physics‑based levels that encourage intimate communication and coordinated actions. Though designed with romantic couples in mind, it aims to foster healthier collaboration for any relationship.
01 / THE GUIDE
Cooperative Play
The core experience is a two‑player cooperative mode that emphasizes communication, trust, and shared problem solving. Players must work together to navigate physics and platform challenges, using coordinated actions and trust falls to progress.
The developer describes the game as a “collaborative, playful space for couples” intended to encourage healthier collaborative habits within any relationship.
- Observe your partner’s movements early to anticipate needed support.
- Discuss each puzzle before attempting to align expectations.

Puzzle Design
Each short level presents physics‑based platform challenges that require coordinated actions. The puzzles vary in intimacy, prompting players to adapt their approach as the story unfolds.
The world is intentionally awkward to control, making the partnership essential for overcoming obstacles.
- Experiment with combined abilities before rushing.
- Use the awkward controls as a cue to communicate more clearly.

03 / THE GUIDE
Wordless Levels
Levels are short and wordless, telling a story of two characters meeting and growing closer as they explore. Visual storytelling removes language barriers and focuses attention on interaction.
The absence of text encourages players to rely on gestures and timing, reinforcing the game’s intimate theme.
- Watch visual cues closely to understand puzzle requirements.
- Use body language to signal intentions when words are absent.
05 / THE GUIDE
Cross‑Platform Availability
The game is free to play on Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it accessible to a wide audience. No single‑player mode is mentioned; the cooperative focus remains central.
As a student project, the title is intentionally short and “a little wonky,” reflecting its experimental nature.
- Check that your operating system matches one of the supported platforms before launching.
- Update graphics drivers for smoother physics interactions.
