Game
First off: The game is FREE!
Yes, no Free-to-play or any crap like that. Its free on Steam and even though it might be a very short game, free is hard to beat. You and one friend are playing as two adventurers that get cut off from each other during a snowy expedition. To be able to reunite and return home you have to solve puzzles where you both see different parts of the puzzle.
Your only measure to solve them is by communicating through an old walkie-talkie. The game is old looking and very short. See it as a teaser for the sequels in the same series.
Co-op
One of the few story games where the coop is truly asynchronous. What the game lacks in general, it recoups with an amazing coop experience made from scratch to be played as a game for two.
The puzzles you face are impossible to solve with the information you have on your side. You and your friend have to explain with words what you are seeing and then solve the puzzles based on your shared information. Sometimes it gets really frustrating but that only makes the pleasure of solving the puzzles even greater.
