About Sonder

✦ AI summary

A scrapped robot and a wandering soul must cooperate using their unique abilities to escape a nightmarish world born from their own minds. This atmospheric co-op adventure demands true teamwork, blending puzzle-solving and combat where combined powers are the only path to survival.

Local Co-op requires a gamepad controller for both players. Online Co-op supports mouse and keyboard.

Psychological narrative

- After a mass-scale destruction of all artificial intelligence, a scrapped robot and soul form an unexpected friendship. After a mysterious train knocks them out, they wake up in a world shaped by their own thoughts. Will they be able to cooperate and escape this dark reality?

Immersive atmosphere

- Immerse yourself in an atmospheric world crafted with a stylish, minimalistic approach that captivates your attention and enhances the shared adventure. Unleash the power of collaboration, confront existential mysteries, and embark on a gaming journey like no other.

Collaboration

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Sonder is a brief co-op experience that players find decent for killing time with friends but criticize for its confusing story, unclear mechanics and controls, and apparent use of AI-generated content. The game's short length (under an hour) and casual puzzle gameplay appeal to those looking for a quick group activity, though most reviewers suggest it lacks the polish and clarity needed for a strong recommendation. Players generally view it as a casual diversion rather than a must-play title.

Not recommended Sep 17, 2026

Finished the game in under an hour, it wasn't bad overall but the story was really bad, confusing and the game was made using AI, not sure how much AI but I didn't really enjoy the mechanics, the bindings and instructions could have been clearer. Overall decent if you want to mess around with a friend for 30 min but I can't recommend the game overall, too much to work on Art was OK but it seems to be taken from other franchises
