Dsync

Two players must communicate through time to solve puzzles before the future player runs out of oxygen.


Dsync is an immersive two player co-op puzzle game. The game is set in a space station where time teleportation experiments are conducted. After repairing a damaged teleporter, one player is transported to a time long after the space station had been abandoned.

After transporting to the future, the teleporter breaks. With one player stuck in the present and the other stuck in the future, they must communicate across time to guide each other through the station to reach an alternate teleporter.

Navigating through the station isn’t easy though. Time has taken its toll on the facility and has created many unexpected challenges. Will you be able to re-sync before the oxygen runs out?
