About This Game

Single Player Experience

Co OPERATION: MultiTurn is a cozy retreat for lovers of tactical games. If you enjoy the “thinky” gameplay of titles like Into the Breach, you’ll probably have fun with Co OPERATION: MultiTurn.

You control two hospital volunteers, plan their actions, and try to heal all the patients in each ward of Lonchester Hospital. The fun comes from predicting the best way to solve each challenge… and then seeing if you were right..!

Multiplayer Experience

After you’ve had fun in single-player, invite some friends to play with you. The experience is like (if you imagine) a turn-based version of Overcooked but more chilled and thinky. (It's actually quite hard trying to think of a comparative game). Seven guests can join you in an online session. The fun comes from planning with your team, figuring out a strategy together, and then seeing all the game characters move in-sync as they carry out the plan! It’s usually satisfying when a clever plan goes right and funny if it goes a bit wrong.

Science!

We’re trying to make a multiplayer experience that helps people feel emotionally connected to each other. That’s (kind of) been scientifically proven! Groups of Masters level psychology students evaluated an early demo and all agreed that it positively affects relationships. Here’s a quote from one assessor: “We felt that our relationship as a group was strengthened and we definitely got to know each other much better because of the game.”

Backstory

Running hospitals is expensive. A clever bean in central government decided that tearing up requirements for medical qualifications would help. Volunteers are now welcome… throughout the country?! 🤷 You decide to enroll and help your local hospital. Find out what the patients need and form a strategy to help them. The more coordinated your team is, the more people you can heal!

Dual-Screen

Similar to the Jackbox series of games, only the host player needs to have the game installed. Guest players join an online session by entering a 4-digit room code on their phone, laptop or any other device with a web browser. Once connected to a game session, each player controls a character and/or becomes a dialogue writer via their phone or other connected device.

You can control multiple players/characters from a single device if you want to play in single-player mode, or share your device with a co-op buddy.

Play Online

To play online, screen-share your PC screen while on a video call. Guests join a session by entering the room-code on their web browser/phone. It doesn't really matter if one player has internet lag, the gameplay is designed so that lag doesn’t affect the fun.

Community

We’re actively developing Co OPERATION: Multiturn. It was in closed-testing on Itch for a year before we brought the demo to Steam. We appreciate all our player feedback and let it guide our plans. Many features were born from votes on our Discord and mailing list.
