Quadrant Scores
Audience Representation
Racial audience not shown
Not enough of the cast has a researched race to score this honestly.
Why this is blank
Racial audience scores need at least half the actor cast classified. Below that line the page shows this note instead of a number. A blank is not a score of zero.
Faithfulness
Faithfulness not applicable
Faithfulness is scored only for adaptations.
Why this is blank
An original has no source text to compare. The score is left blank rather than shown as zero.

Synopsis
Embark on the craziest journey of your life in It Takes Two, a genre-bending platform adventure created purely for co-op. Invite a friend to join for free with Friend’s Pass and work together across a huge variety of gleefully disruptive gameplay challenges. Play as the clashing couple Cody and May, two humans turned into dolls by a magic spell. Together, trapped in a fantastical world where the unpredictable hides around every corner, they are reluctantly challenged with saving their fractured relationship.
