The Cave supports up to 3 player local co-op play. Sadly there is no online co-op.

Pro Characters based on 7 deadly sins
Each character represents one of the seven deadly sins making the game a bit of a moral tale.
Pro Good use of lighting and art design
The Silent Age is a great looking game that uses lighting effects and color to make the game pop.
Pro Interesting time travel mechanic
The Silent Age uses an interesting time travel mechanic in that the protagonist will jump between 2012 and 1970, which results in environmental changes that the player needs to explore.
Pro Great atmosphere reminiscent of the old Delphine software games
Cons
Con Tedious level design
There is a lot of backtracking and lever pulling that gives a feeling of lazy level design to elongate the game.
Con Co-op may leave one or two players out on certain stages
Some stages do not offer gameplay for all co-op players. Although the co-op is drop in drop out, certain points of the game do not offer anything for the other players to do.
Con Somewhat easy and too short
The few interactive objects a player finds will ultimately be an object that is used in a puzzle, leaving not too much guess work as to how to progress. Chapter 1 is too short to entice you to pay for the rest of the game.
