You and a friend play as a color-changing forest creater (nicknamed Fin) and his specter-freind (nicknamed Valdy) as they are rudely turned down help from a local lordling. There are fun story elements, difficulty spikes, and player co-ordiantion required in this unique take on co-op gameplay.
In the early game Fin is probably the easier character if you're playing with a less expierence friend, but after a few turns the difficulty of both characters is very similar.
Have fun and good luck ;)
