Can you play Split Fiction single-player?

Split Fiction, Hazelight Studios' latest game, puts players in control of two up-and-coming authors trapped in the pages of their own interweaving stories. The game's yet another fine addition to the rapidly expanding "cozy couch co-op" scene, but I bet some players will want to tackle this literary odyssey solo. Does Split Fiction have a single-player mode? Image via Hazelight Studios I'm afraid I have bad news for gamers who like to play solo: Split Fiction does not have a single-player mode. Following the pattern set by Hazelight Studios' previous titles, A Way Out and It Takes Two, Split Fiction puts all its chips on the cooperative experience. This isn't a game where co-op is a fun side feature; it's an integral part of the experience, one you won't be able to enjoy alone. Going through games single-player isn't a matter of preference for some players. Trust me, I know; sometimes, it's hard to find someone willing to sit down and play a game with you, even if you have a perfectly comfortable couch to play them on. Luckily, Hazelight Studios has given players an easy way to play Split Fiction with friends through online multiplayer.
