The Get Together is one of the most memorable gaming experiences I’ve had in years. It’s essentially an 'Escape Room' that you can play from your couch with a friend. The game forces you to develop a shorthand language with your partner, and there’s a genuine sense of accomplishment when you finally figure out how your two screens connect.
It’s short—you can finish it in about 2-3 hours—but every minute is high-quality. The art is moody and beautiful, and the puzzles are perfectly pitched: difficult enough to make you think, but never so hard that you give up. It’s a perfect 'date night' game or a way to stay connected with a friend in a different city. Truly a standout title for the platform.
It's hard to be too critical of a game that just wants you to pet cats. The puzzles start out incredibly easy—too easy, really—but they do pick up later on. It’s a 'cozy' game, which usually means it’s a bit light on substance, and that’s true here. Good for winding down before bed, but don't expect a brain-buster.
Performance: Flawless.
Buy if: You want a stress-free game with cute animals.

The Get Together is an innovative cooperative puzzle game designed specifically for two players on separate devices. You and your partner are separated by a mysterious void, each seeing a different version of the same world. To solve the challenges ahead, you must talk to each other, describing what you see and coordinating your actions in real-time. It's a game about observation, listening, and teamwork. With a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere and mind-bending puzzles, The Get Together is a truly unique social experience.

Deeply atmospheric soundtrack
Cross-platform play between Apple devices
Focus on communication over reflexes
Don't assume your partner sees what you see. Start every puzzle by describing the layout: 'I have three red buttons and a clock.' Your partner might have the key to which button to press, but they won't know unless you tell them.
Some puzzles require both players to perform an action at the exact same time. Use a countdown—'3, 2, 1, GO'—to ensure your switches are flipped simultaneously across the void.
No, this is a strictly two-player experience that requires voice or text communication with a partner.
