Take a seat
Each player presses a button on their own controller to join and takes a spot on the screen. Pick a layout that fits your players.

Handler notes

Beautiful game. ONLY working with the latest Steam version of the game, egs version does not work currently as it uses a different multiplayer API and has saving issues. Read the handler notes in the UI carefully.

So the instances launch and resize correctly make sure to run your main game at least one time before running this. You need to add custom resolutions in your AMD/Nvidia/Intel panel (for example: 960x1080, 1920x540, 960x540 etc.) for the game to see them and resize correctly.
