Featuring dual protagonists named Ember and Rime, each with the power to manipulate heat or cold, players must learn to master their respective temperatures as these two unlikely individuals grow ever closer. Tackling themes of closeness and separation, explore a gorgeously realized non-linear world that encourages players to experiment and interact with the environment around them, making use of Ember and Rime’s polar opposite skill-sets, all while seeking a common goal.

While Ember may cause a nearby river to melt, Rime can freeze it over just as easily. Leveraging their unique talents and bringing together two opposing forces rests at the center of this atmospheric puzzle adventure that weaves together gameplay, narrative, and character development for a powerful emotional experience.

The game is playable in single-player or co-op multiplayer, allowing two players to work together to traverse environmental obstacles. Ember and Rime will work toward a common goal while exploring a non-linear world that at times underscores just how very different they are.

Modus Games announced that Degrees of Separation will expand its current multiplayer offering to include online functionality on all platforms via a free update for all users.

Players will be able to take their existing save files online to play with friends, and progress earned through cooperative play will be kept by each user.
