Can you play Sephiria with friends?
Yes. Sephiria supports online co-op for up to four total players. Steam lists Online Co-op, and a TEAM HORAY developer response confirms the four-player limit. The reviewed official listings do not advertise local or split-screen co-op.
Find and open the multiplayer door
The provided 1.0.23 in-game capture confirms that the large stone Mysterious Door in Bunnyville shows an Open prompt and leads to the Multiplayer screen. The screenshot does not show when the door first becomes available. A community walkthrough reports that each player must first complete the Prologue or tutorial, so treat the unlock timing as community guidance rather than an official requirement.

- Complete the Prologue or opening tutorial if the door is not usable
- Return to Bunnyville
- Find the large stone Mysterious Door
- Use the Open prompt to reach Multiplayer
Create a multiplayer game
The 1.0.23 Multiplayer screen directly shows a Create button. Select it to begin hosting. The capture does not show the controls that appear after creation; the existing community walkthrough describes using the Steam friends interface to invite players once the lobby exists.

- Open the Mysterious Door
- Select Create
- Use the available Steam invite controls after the lobby opens
- Wait for everyone to appear before starting
Join by code or Steam invite
The same 1.0.23 screen directly shows Join by Code. Use that route when the host gives you a lobby code. The screenshot does not establish the code format or later prompts. A Steam invite remains the alternate route described by the reviewed community walkthrough.
- Make sure every player is on the same game version
- Open the Mysterious Door on the joining character
- Select Join by Code and use the host's code
- If using the community Steam route, accept the host's invite
Current 1.0.23 multiplayer context
TEAM HORAY's 1.0.23 notes say the update improved rare disconnects during combat and disconnects that could occur while selecting a Miracle. Multiplayer is supported, but the connection layer is still receiving fixes, so an older bug report is not proof that the same problem still occurs on 1.0.23.
If the lobby or invite does not work
Start with reversible checks. Make sure every player has completed the opening progression and is running the same Steam build, then recreate the lobby and resend the invite. Restarting Sephiria and Steam is safer than deleting saves or changing configuration files, and none of the reviewed sources recommends destructive troubleshooting.
- Check that all players have the same installed game version
- Let the host recreate the Steam lobby
- Resend the invite after the new lobby appears
- Restart Sephiria and Steam if the lobby state is stuck
Report a repeatable disconnect
The 1.0.23 notes ask players to send repeatable bug reports to team.horay.game@gmail.com. On Windows, the listed log folder is C:\Users\<Your_PC_Name>\AppData\LocalLow\TEAMHORAY\Sephiria. Player.log contains the current session and Player-prev.log contains the previous session.
Evidence limits
The player limit, Online Co-op listing, and 1.0.23 fixes are official facts. The player-provided 1.0.23 screenshots directly confirm the Mysterious Door's Open prompt and the Multiplayer screen's Join by Code and Create buttons. They do not establish the door's unlock timing or the steps shown after either button; the Prologue and Steam-invite sequence remain community guidance. This guide does not claim unverified rules for rewards, save ownership, progression sharing, enemy scaling, cross-region latency, or reconnect behavior.
