• Recommended Posted June 12, 2025 on Steam I played Bokura as a date night game with my partner. My partner has a tendency towards what he calls “twee” games. These are cute games with cute graphics and sweet little stories. When we first loaded up Bokura, I groaned internally, because it looked suspiciously like another of his pastel fables. Then I popped his head off and threw it off a cliff. I felt much better after that. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3497551694 Bokura is a co-op puzzle-platformer that is (thankfully) light on the platforming. You play as one of two children lost in the increasingly spooky and unnerving forest. The children must navigate a series of puzzles, each chipping further and further at both their humanity and sense of reality. However, even as the world shifts and contorts around them, they maintain their sense of childlike wonder and innocence, giving the game a persistently sweet and earnest feeling, even as my partner uses my corpse to float across a river to the decapitator. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3497551852 This blending of horror and a bizarre sense of nostalgia is a large factor in what makes this game such a trip to play. Though I am not Japanese and don’t have a particular nostalgia for getting lost in the mountains on my way to blow up a statue of my father, the sense of adventure and mystery, and of every tree or rock being something other than the obvious is a familiar one. More than anything, playing through Bokura reminded me of my sister, and of all the times our games together brought us to places we probably shouldn’t have wandered into. My sister and I grew up in a small museum town in rural Pennsylvania. We were the only children for miles, and so, inevitably, we became each other’s closest companion and playmate. We rode our bicycles up and down the village’s single street. We explored the forest and followed bear tracks. We climbed the rotting coal breaker, and stared down at the cars that people had pushed into the abandoned mine shafts in the vast expanse of coal strippings. Everything became an adventure, and though we came home with cuts, bruises, and splinters on multiple occasions, we invariably kept each other safe. It’s this that Bokura evokes for me. I may have played this game with my partner, but it was my sister whom I saw on the other side of the screen. Bokura’s gameplay also feeds beautifully into this sense of a childlike adventure. Bokura is aggressively co-op, with each player having a different view of the scene surrounding them, and a different idea of the reality of the puzzle they must solve. Either player individually has no chance of solving the puzzle, because the puzzles require the players to communicate and support one another. It’s an approach that can make the game frustrating at times, but also creates a sense of shared adventure. There is no quarterbacking or piggybacking. There is instead the gentle description of what each child imagines they see, and how it interacts with the other child’s world. It’s satisfying and sweet, even as the children bathe in the blood of their slain enemies. Look, I didn’t say I was the one imagining it. Just that it triggered nostalgia for me. i did not bathe in blood as a child https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3497552475 This is not to say Bokura is without frustration. There was a session where I rage quit because the game did not respond to my keyboard inputs and insisted I use a controller. Another time, after carefully navigating a long session, my partner dropped me, and we had to start over. There is frustration, as there always is. However, it often feels like the frustration I felt with my sister when she played pretend wrong - a fleeting frustration that would be smoothed over with explanation and jumping right back in. Bokura is a deeply weird game, but also a deeply sweet one. It’s a game about characters nostalgic for their childhood, and it succeeds in evoking the same nostalgia in me.

• Recommended Posted July 17, 2025 on Steam all fun and games until the "Go!.......... NOW STOP!.......... NOW GO!" -moment, when the discord call with your friend has a slight delay
• Recommended Posted December 18, 2025 on Steam + fun game + great puzzles to solve + interesting story - you need a friend :(
• Recommended Posted March 19, 2026 on Steam I bought this for myself and my partner as soon as I heard about the premise, and was not disappointed. It accomplishes what it sets out to do perfectly. 4 hour experience if you're relatively quick with solving the puzzles. For the price, 9.5/10
