Sonder is an absolutely fantastic co-op puzzle adventure that my friend and I stumbled upon—and we were blown away by how polished and engaging it is, for what it is!

The game favors expressive lighting, carefully selected color palettes, and dreamlike scenery over graphical realism, allowing every location to contribute to the emotional tone of the story.
