- Friends trying to play local co-op from separate homes
- Worth noticing
- The host runs the game; guests join with an address and PIN, then send controller input back.
Field notes
The host keeps the game running locally, while the other player receives its picture and sound and returns controller input; the site says no game-side mod or developer support is needed. Joining uses an address and PIN, with the address alone sufficient after the first connection. The page lists Windows 10/11 and a Decky plugin for Steam Deck Gaming Mode, and identifies the release as version 0.0.1 beta.
