| 6 | In 2010, he took interest in video game design, and started to work with local video game companies to create a video game about two brothers. The game became ''VideoGame/BrothersATaleOfTwoSons'', and propelled him to fame in a completely different medium. Fares would later help found Hazelight with some his ''Brothers'' colleagues, developing ''VideoGame/AWayOut'' and ''VideoGame/{{It Takes Two|2021}}'' with [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA]] as the publisher. These games' most notable feature is their strong emphasis on cooperation: while ''Brothers'' is a single-player game, the player controls two characters at once; ''A Way Out'' and ''It Takes Two'', meanwhile, are built entirely around cooperative multiplayer and have no single-player mode. |
