About the Game

FOCUS GROUP is a co-op puzzle adventure in the 1980s halls of Compliance Forge. You and your partner test prototypes under observation. Every room is a trial. Every success unlocks the next experiment.

  • Two player co-op: Every puzzle needs both players. You each get different tools or information and must work together to solve problems that neither of you could complete alone.

  • Communication is the key: When something goes wrong (and it will) you’ll need to stay calm, describe clearly, and think fast.

  • Story in a dystopian corporate world: Your only contact is Nora, your overly professional "personal coach." She's helpful. Maybe too helpful. And something about this place feels... wrong.

    Note: FOCUS GROUP is a co-op only game. It requires two players, each with an internet connection.
