Evaluation

TetherGeist launched on May 7, 2026 across PC and Nintendo Switch. Since launch, the developer (O. and Co. Games) has been actively responding to player feedback with a series of bug fixes and minor quality-of-life improvements, including Steam Cloud saves, Steam Deck verification, and input/platform fixes — all released between May 7 and May 23, 2026. The two DLC items on the store are a soundtrack and a digital art book, both released on launch day as part of the Supporter and Deluxe editions — these are standard launch extras, not post-launch content expansions. No future content has been announced, and the developer has made no statements about plans for expansions, additional story content, or continued updates beyond the current polish patches. Because the game only just launched in May 2026, there isn't yet enough history to determine whether the developer intends to add more content.

About this game

Embark on a Treacherous Pilgrimage

Guide Mae on a coming-of-age pilgrimage in this heartfelt precision platformer, designed for both newcomers and those in search of a challenge.

For hundreds of years, the Mountain Shaman have used their powers of Astral Projection to travel vast distances. But Mae is different – her spirit travel is limited by a tether. When the time comes for a coming of age pilgrimage, Mae must forgo spirit flight and take the journey the long way.

Join Mae on her challenging journey, using tough but satisfying platforming to leap and bound towards her goal. Master seven different Azae that change how your spirit interacts with the environment. Scour the world for secrets, treasures and hidden paths – your curiosity will be rewarded!

Features:

  • Precision and depth: Progressively unlock seven different spirit abilities

  • Seek and find: Discover hidden secrets, alternate paths and more

  • Pure precision platforming: No combat, powerups or skill trees

  • A speedrunner’s dream: Push your skills to the limit with timed runs!

  • Tough but forgiving: Frequent checkpoints help you learn from your mistakes

  • Full of heart: Discover a story about community, difference and growing up
