TetherGeist, the award-winning precision platformer from O. and Co. Games and Out of Space, launched today on Steam and Nintendo Switch. The game places players in control of Mae, a young mountain shaman who uses a unique ghostly tether mechanic to navigate difficult platforming sections without any combat.
The title was recognized at the Gamescom Latam BIG Festival, where it was a finalist for Best Game, Best Impact, Best Art, and Best Sound, ultimately winning the WINGS Award. TetherGeist focuses on mastering a unique core mechanic, the Astral Projection Tether, which allows Mae to cross gaps and overcome dangers with precise timing.
Players explore a story-rich world featuring multiple endings and secrets hidden in different regions. Seven distinct Azae change how astral projection works, forcing players to adapt their movement strategies. The developers describe the experience as forming “a rhythm of decision and execution that can draw the person into a state of flow.”
The game launches at $16.99 USD with a 20% introductory discount available during the launch period. Steam users can also purchase the Supporter and Deluxe Editions which include the original soundtrack and digital artbook. TetherGeist is confirmed to be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2.
More information about TetherGeist can be found on the official website and store pages on Steam and Nintendo Switch.
