Out of Words Brings Stop-Motion Animation and Tim Burton Style to Co-Op Gaming
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Kong Orange and WiredFly are bringing Out of Words to PC and consoles, an upcoming co-op adventure featuring a unique stop-motion handcrafted aesthetic and puzzle-solving gameplay.
Co-op games continue to anchor our social gaming routines, proving that shared puzzle-solving and split-screen adventures are just as vital as any massive live-service grind. Building on the momentum sparked by studios like Hazelight, developers Kong Orange and WiredFly are stepping into the space with an upcoming title called Out of Words. Published by Epic Games, the game is heading to PC via the Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, bringing a distinct visual style that immediately demands attention.
What sets Out of Words apart in a crowded market is its genuine stop-motion gameplay. Rather than relying purely on traditional digital rendering, every character, environment, and animation in the game is created using real stop-motion techniques before being brought into the engine. The result is a handcrafted world that blends whimsical charm with an eerie, clay-crafted aesthetic reminiscent of classic Tim Burton films. Players follow two protagonists, Kurt and Karla, who have mysteriously lost their voices and must journey through the strange world of Vokabulantis to restore what they lost.
Designed strictly as a two-player experience with no single-player mode, the game requires constant communication much like modern co-op staples. Players will tackle physics-based puzzles and platforming challenges across ancient catacombs and towering clay cities using either local split-screen or online cross-platform co-op. By leaning into both a tactile visual medium and strict cooperative design, Out of Words offers a refreshing change of pace for friends looking for their next shared adventure.
