За последние годы кооперативные игры эволюционировали от совместных пострелушек до приключений с комплексным геймплеем и без всякого намёка на одиночный режим. Большую роль в этом сдвиге сыграла Hazelight Studios Юсефа Фареса, которая при поддержке EA последовательно выпустила хитовые A Way Out, It Takes Two и Split Fiction.

Hey everyone! The main characters of WheelMates are two RC cars heading off on an exciting and slightly dangerous adventure through a house packed with oversized science gadgets. And today, we're talking about customization so you feel like the cars are truly yours. The base color you pick before you start. The rest is scattered all over the house, waiting to be found as you play. Keep an eye out: some of it is hidden pretty well. Find new parts as you explore, then mix and match the wheels, antenna and horn. Which car color would you choose at the start? Сome hang out with us on Discord, and

Hey everyone! In WheelMates, you can drive straight to the next location: nothing forces you to stop and examine every object. But if you slow down and look around, the house begins to tell a much bigger story. You may already know Professor Everett Bloom as the mysterious scientist who created the RC cars and sent the call for help. But that is only the beginning of the story. Who else lived in this house? Why is it empty now? What are the strange green chemicals found throughout it? The answers to these and many more questions are scattered throughout the house in small fragments.The Journal
