Solvimus

Do you like bad jokes, hard puzzles and have exactly one friend? Get ready to lose that one too.

Solvimus is a two-player cooperative puzzle game made for best friends, brave duos, and sworn frenemies. Step into the sleek, chaotic labs of the I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. Initiative (Institute for the Neurological Testing of Exceptional Logic, Looks, Intuition, Genius, Eloquence, Narcissism, Charisma, and Expression) — a suspiciously acronym-obsessed organization with a passion for testing minds… and friendships.

This isn’t just a puzzle game — it’s a 10+ hour friendship test, packed with 30 intricate, teamwork-based puzzles across five mind-melting parcours. Whether you're solving laser logic mazes, mastering time manipulation, or shouting "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" into your headset, every moment demands communication, coordination, and maybe a little therapy.

👥 Two Players. One Brain (Split in Half)
Solvimus is strictly two-player co-op. Each puzzle is built from the ground up for dual-brain, dual-perspective problem solving. Alone, you're useless. Together, you're unstoppable. Or… stuck forever.

🧠 Explore Five Test Zones
Each parcours introduces new twists and fresh mechanics:
- Dynamic Duo – The basics of betrayal. Trust-building... or breaking.
- Vertigo Venture – Gravity isn’t just a suggestion. It’s the enemy.
- Beam Bafflement – Lasers, mirrors, and mutual confusion.
- Hostile Havoc – Rapid-fire puzzles and environmental chaos.
- Chrono Conundrum – Time loops, paradoxes, and synchronized madness.

💬 Tools for Talking. Or Pointing. Or Screaming.
- Built-in voice chat so you can strategize or squabble in real time.
- Ping tool for moments when words fail or you're too annoyed to speak.
- 30+ emotes to communicate joy, despair, or smug superiority.

🥚 Secrets, Surprises, and a Golden Prize

❓ FAQ
- Is the game splitscreen? No. Each player plays on their own device with their own view and role.
- Why is it not splitscreen? Because many puzzles rely on separate perspectives, asymmetric roles, and visual isolation. Splitscreen would break or limit the design.
- Do both players need to own the game? Yes. Each player needs their own copy of Solvimus and a stable internet connection to play together.
