Unravel Two is the sequel to the 2015 puzzle platforming game Unravel. In the game there are two Yarny's (made out of yarn) which can be controlled by one player, though the game can also be played in co-op. Together the Yarny's explore area's and solve the puzzles within them.

What it feels like

The game emphasizes warmth, gentleness, and supportive friendship rather than tension or danger. Quirky charm of yarn-based characters and imaginative puzzle scenarios creates delightful fanciful tone. Soft, caring gentleness toward the characters and their journey together pervades the experience.

Platforming is a core challenge throughout the levels, central to the puzzle-platformer hybrid identity. Exploration of areas and puzzle-solving within environments is the primary gameplay loop.
