About the Game:

Guide two twins, born of song, on a mythic journey to lift a curse that makes them the target of eldritch horrors from beyond the stars in this innovative two-character, single-player game.

Crater Song is a short, single-player co-op adventure puzzle game for the 8-bit NES based within the sci-fi fantasy world of Orebody.

In this unique NES game, players hold controllers 1 AND 2 sideways, like Switch Joycons and control two characters simultaneously! Crater Song is inspired by the game Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

Features

  • Innovative Single-Player Co-op – work together, with yourself!
  • Want traditional co-op gameplay? Just hand one controller to a friend.
  • Engaging singing mechanics to solve puzzles that build in complexity and challenge over time.
  • A mixture of obstacle and puzzle-adventure sections!
  • Story Campaign and Challenge Campaign, along with other bonus content.
  • A moving and moody sci-fi fairy tale narrative!
  • Playable on actual NES hardware or any NES emulator!

Controls

ORIGINAL HARDWARE USING NES CONTROLLERS

The ideal way to play Crater Song is on ORIGINAL HARDWARE or CLONE HARDWARE using two NES controllers held sideways, like Wiimotes.  

When playing alone, the player should hold an NES controller in each hand, sideways, having access to the D-Pad on each controller and the Select button with their thumbs. This is the intended design and control method.

    George P. ★★★★☆

    The co-op puzzle mechanic in a single-player NES game is a weird little hook, and the sci-fi fantasy setting looks great in the screenshots. Shipping keeps slipping to 2026 though, so I'm knocking off a star for the wait.

    Eva ★★★★☆

    Been waiting on this preorder for a while and the second-chance release finally came through. The single-player co-op twist on a puzzle game is a neat idea, though I'm not totally sold on how that works solo yet. Cartridge only, so don't expect a manual with the regular edition.
