## What is BOKURA?

Are you and I really seeing the world the same way?
An exclusively two-player puzzle adventure game that makes you question your reality.

*Players must communicate with each other to play this game. If you are not playing in the same location, you will need another communication method, such as voice chat. Before buying the game, please keep in mind that the game itself does not provide a separate communication method.

BOKURA is a puzzle adventure game that can only be played with two players. To play the game, two people must play on two separate machines.

While you have to work together, what you see on your game screens is completely different.

Even though the same character should be displayed on both of your screens, to one of you, they might look like an animal out of a picture book, while to the other, they might look like a robot. (The objects you can interact with might move differently for each of you too!)

You will need to talk to each other to find out what you can and cannot see. Work together to solve the puzzles and continue your journey.

You can play online in different locations while talking to each other over a call.

Gameplay
The game is a side-scrolling co-op puzzle adventure. You will be faced with a number of critical choices throughout the story which will lead your journey in different directions.

You Can't Play Alone
A unique feature of this game is that you cannot play it alone. You cannot play it singleplayer or with a computer as player two. It can only be played with two people—no more, no less.
As such, the very first choice you make in this game takes place before you even start: Who should I play this game with?

The total gameplay time is around three to four hours. While you play, you and the other player will need to talk to each other to understand what is happening, solve problems, and make important decisions together.

Story
Two boys who run away from home encounter a dead deer. The sight of it causes them to faint, but when they wake up, the worlds they see are no longer the same.

One of them sees a world of animals, while the other sees a world of machines. Will the boys be able to find out what has happened to them and return to the world they used to be in?

Creator Comment
Have you ever wondered if the world you see is the same as the world everyone else sees?
BOKURA is a game about two boys whose worlds are no longer the same as everyone else's. When you play, you'll find that what you and the other player see are not the same either. I hope you'll overcome the differences in how you see the world and relive the friendship of your childhood through the story of these two boys.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-07-10, version 1.3.0*

Definitely worth paying for this story and experience!

### 5/5 — Super Fun Game!! 🤩

*2026-04-05*

I was hesitant to purchase this game at first but I have 0 regrets! There are no in-app purchases or ads which is amazing!! 🥲 The game is definitely fun and you DO need to enjoy puzzle games to play this and also have some patience at the beginning. Don’t give up!! It gets pretty hard after only a few levels as well but we keep making it through despite “dying” numerous times, lol. Even at the start my friend and I were confused so don’t let it discourage you. But once you get the hang of it then it’s super fun!! We tend to say “wtf” a lot to the story, haha. Especially trying to figure out how to explain what we are seeing which is hilarious - we take screenshots to show each other afterwards too. The story is a little sad like it claims and has a creepy vibe to it. It reminds me of old-school Sega games!! My friend is a guy and he ended up with the “happier looking” theme. I’m a girl and I ended up with the dark theme that I refer to as the “Upside Down” (Stranger Things). It almost feels like the creators took inspiration from that! But I like my role (I won’t spoil it), lol. 😇

It’s also fun because when you read along with the story it’s almost like it’s reading your mind! We both tend to say things before the story lines start and they are so similar to our characters so it’s trippy!! Haha. 

My only complaint is that I have a hard time trying to jump and navigate - but that’s just me. 😅 My friend is able to do it perfectly fine because he plays games a lot. Lol. 

We happened to randomly find this game in a list someone created on Instagram for “games you can play with friends”. I do highly recommend it. It’s addicting!! 

The app on the USA App Store has a 4.5+ star rating with multiple good reviews just to let people know (my friend is in the USA and that’s what his says). So don’t be discouraged to try it out by the lack of current reviews! I never leave reviews but I felt it was needed and the game deserves the boost!! :)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🩵

### 4/5 — 友達と

*2026-04-03, version 1.3.0*

友達とやりました
ちょっと怖い！あと長い
まあまあかなー

### 1/5 — Android相手だと満足に遊べません

*2026-03-01, version 1.3.0*

Androidの友人とプレイ。友人がロープ登った先の滑り台落ちた辺りで、ジャンプしか出来なく左右移動が出来なくなり進めません。修正をお願いしたいです。

### 5/5 — Perfect game for long distance

*2026-01-21, version 1.3.0*

Amazing game for long distance couples. Surprises you with how creative the puzzle gets and the unique game (don’t want to spoil) mechanic really forces you to communicate with your partner. So peak definitely give it a try.

### 1/5 — Arnaque

*2025-12-30, version 1.3.0*

Ce jeu est une véritable arnaque. Impossible d’entrer dedans.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2025-12-30, version 1.3.0*

Amazing game. Fun (and challenging) puzzles. Heartfelt story. Would recommend to any couple or pair.

### 3/5 — Not sure

*2025-12-05, version 1.3.0*

We just tried starting this game, but after a long intro the game crashed for us both. We will try again.

### 5/5 — だいすきです

*2025-11-01, version 1.1.4*

ほんとに可愛くて大好きなゲームです。好きすぎて違う星のぼくらをするためにパソコン買いました🥲💗

### 5/5 — プレイの仕方について

*2025-08-11, version 1.1.4*

このゲームは2人でプレイすることが前提となっているので恐らく1人では出来ないかと思います。
2人でプレイする場合は下記の手順でゲームが開始できると思います。
・1人がタイトル画面でコードを出す。
・2人目がそのコードを入力してゲーム開始

僕らはこれでゲームを開始出来ました。また、個人的には十分楽しめたので課金して良かったと感じてます。
