Welcome to Mountween, where nothing is quite what it seems. Here, it’s hard to tell monsters from trinkets — or peaceful folk from villains. A mystical power has created the Flipside, a twisted reflection of the world where anyone or anything that slips through a breach may emerge… changed.

Flipside is a cooperative story-driven adventure game for 1–4 players. Step into the shoes of a unique character with their own backstory, abilities, and personal quests, then explore Mountween together as a series of strange events unfolds around you.

Travel across the map, meet peculiar residents, gather useful stuff, develop your character, and embark on branching adventures where your choices and successes shape what happens next. Each scenario leads the group toward a cooperative Final Adventure — but every hero has personal goals of their own to pursue along the way.

Scenarios can unfold differently depending on your decisions, and your character continues to grow as you gain experience and unlock new abilities.
