It Takes Two Can Help Kids Process a Crumbling Marriage

Games started out as light-hearted fun for kids, but some modern developers have been trying their best to elevate the medium. What’s interesting is, EA has given us the official trailer to It Takes Two, a game that would help kids process their parents’ divorce.

Check out this trailer:

Magically turned into dolls by their daughter Rose, Cody and May are challenged by a cheesy self-help book on love – Dr. Hakim – to fix their broken relationship. Innovative gameplay, emotional storytelling, and laugh-out-loud moments merge in this genre-bending platform adventure made exclusively for co-op.

Developers Hazelight Studios have been getting a penchant for working on co-op games. Their previous title, A Way Out, was also focused on players working together as prisoners trying to get out of a jail.

It’s very fascinating that they should make a game about a crumbling marriage. On one hand, adults can play it and gain valuable insight for themselves. On the other, kids going through divorce can play it and have a better understanding of their parents.

It’s all about elevating the video game medium, and it looks like It Takes Two is one of those attempts.
