TetherGeist, the award-winning precision platformer from O. and Co. Games and Out of Space, has launched today on Steam and Nintendo Switch. The game puts players in control of Mae, a young Mountain Shaman who uses a unique ghostly tether mechanic to navigate challenging platforming sections without any combat.
The title gained recognition at 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 single core mechanic, the astral projection tether, which allows Mae to swing across gaps and navigate hazards with precise timing.
Players explore a story-rich world featuring multiple endings and hidden secrets across different regions. Seven distinct Azae modify how the astral projection works, requiring players to adapt their movement strategies. The developers describe the experience as forming “a rhythm of decision and execution that can draw one into a flow-like state.”
The game launches at $16.99 USD with a 20% introductory discount available during the launch period. Steam users can also purchase Supporter and Deluxe editions that include the soundtrack and digital artbook. TetherGeist is confirmed to be compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.
More information about TetherGeist can be found on the official website and store pages on Steam and Nintendo Switch.
