The useful answer
No. Big Walk does not have split screen or local co-op. House House says each player needs a separate device because restricted information and communication are central to its puzzles.
Step by step
- Give each player a supported copy and device.
- Join the same hosted session by friends list or code.
- Use in-game voice or text instead of room-wide shortcuts.
Why players get stuck here
House House recommends separate rooms when two systems are in the same home, because overhearing or watching another screen reveals information that several puzzles deliberately hide.
Can two people play from the same home?
Yes, but each person needs a supported system and copy of the game. House House recommends separate rooms so players cannot hear unrestricted speech or see information on the other screen. Use the built-in voice or text chat so walls, distance and communication tools continue to affect puzzles.
What will not work
Connecting a second controller does not create a second player. PlayStation Portal remote play also does not turn one copy into split screen; two simultaneous players still need separate accounts, devices and access to the game.
Verify it before moving on
Before inviting everyone, agree on the host, world size, voice or text preference and the next session time. Those four details prevent most groups from losing progress or creating a world they cannot continue.
