TETHER Game

STAND TOGETHER

Tether Game: top-down co-op action.
From 1 to 4 players, hold the arena against waves of Machina.

Prototype in development. Install the launcher: it downloads the game, then keeps everything up to date by itself.

Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" when you run the installer: Tether is a young project and its installer is not signed yet. Click "More info", then "Run anyway".

The game

One arena, waves of enemies, and your friends

Tether Game in combat: a player surrounded by Machina, wave 1
In game — the prototype, as it is today.

Readable

Top-down view, four players, dozens of enemies: you always understand what is killing you. Readability comes before spectacle.

From 1 to 4

Nobody waits for their friends to log in. The difficulty adapts to the number of players present.

Together

Cooperation is rewarded, never forced: no spell requires a partner, and some get better with company.

Play together

One code, and you are in

  1. 1

    Open a lobby

    The launcher gives you a six-character code.

  2. 2

    Share the code

    Your friends type it in — on keyboard or controller. No router settings, no account.

  3. 3

    Hold the arena

    Everyone picks a character, the host starts, and the whole team goes in together.

Your feedback

A bug, an idea?

The game is under heavy development: tell us what is broken, or what would make it better. Every message is read.

Message type

Your message and nickname are stored to improve the game; your IP address is not. From the launcher, the "bug" button also attaches the game logs: for a bug, that is even better.
