Info about Together: Moon Escape:

Official game description:
**A Fresh Take on Co-Op Gaming**
--------------------------------
At a time when co-op games explore all kinds of fast-paced and experimental ideas, _Together Moon Escape_ offers a different kind of experience.
This is a carefully crafted, story-driven, two-player puzzle adventure designed from the ground up for meaningful cooperation. Every puzzle is intentional. Every mechanic serves the narrative. Every moment is built to make you communicate, think, and feel.
If you love the asymmetric design of **We Were Here** and the emotional cooperation of **It Takes Two**, you don’t want to miss this lunar journey!
🌕 Welcome to the Moon
----------------------
You are Moonfishers, specialized astronauts sent to the Moon. Your employer? **Moontella**. A trillionare corporation extracting rare (and questionably carcinogenic) lunar slimes to supply high-end restaurants back on Earth. The job was simple. Until something went wrong.
This is not your average serious space game. Expect absurd tools, ridiculous logic, and nonstop cooperation. Whether you're arguing over a puzzle or laughing at your partner falling into a crater (again), you’ll need each other to get home.
🧠 **Features**
---------------
*   **2-player online or local co-op** – Grab a friend and play split-screen or over the internet. No solo mode: the Moon demands teamwork.
*   **True co-op puzzles** – Communication is key! You’ll each see different things, control different systems, or need to act in perfect sync.
*   **Lunar exploration** – Travel across varied environments like the Moon’s surface, dark caves, derelict ships, and secret facilities.
*   **Ridiculous tools** – Use special weapons and gadgets like the _Slime Fryer_ or the _Slime Vision Goggles_ to solve puzzles... or prank your partner.
*   **Optimized for smooth performance** – Built with Unreal Engine and fully optimized for low-end systems and Steam Deck (runs at 60fps).
