Fans of local co-op platformers can now dive into an adorable yet action-packed adventure with Wires and Whiskers, a free-to-play game featuring a lab-engineered gerbil and its magnetic exosuit. Released on July 31, 2025, this indie gem is currently available exclusively for PC via Steam. Bringing the nostalgia of classic 3D platformers into a quirky sci-fi world, Wires and Whiskers offers a refreshing multiplayer twist. While many modern co-op games lean toward online play, this title embraces the charm of old-school local multiplayer, reminiscent of It Takes Two and couch co-op classics.

Gameplay Overview

In Wires and Whiskers, two players take on distinct roles:

  • The Gerbil – agile, fast, and armed with melee dash attacks.

  • The Exosuit – equipped with long-range firepower and magnetic manipulation abilities.

Players must work together to tackle tactical combat, magnetic puzzles, and platforming challenges inside a hazardous lab filled with mutated enemies and unstable tech. Coordination is key, as success depends on clever teamwork and precise execution.

Short but Sweet Adventure

Developed by ISTART DIGITAL as a final-year student project, Wires and Whiskers offers a 20–30 minute experience that blends combat, puzzles, and immersive storytelling. Despite its short length, the game has already earned 93% positive reviews on Steam, praised for its charming visuals and engaging co-op mechanics.

Play for Free

Wires and Whiskers is available completely free on Steam, making it a perfect pick for anyone craving a lighthearted couch co-op adventure. You can download it here: Wires and Whiskers on Steam.
