Evaluation

We're Tethered Together is a short 2D puzzle platformer that launched on October 13, 2023 as a complete, self-contained experience — a fully redeveloped version of a game jam submission. The store description explicitly describes it as a "short and sweet game" with a clear narrative arc and no mention of post-launch content plans. Since launch, BunBun Games has been an attentive caretaker of the game, shipping several patches addressing bugs, quality-of-life improvements, and modest additions: early launch patches in October 2023 fixed rendering and achievement issues; a January 2024 update added save file support; a February 2024 update added a hidden Valentine's Day achievement; an October 2024 anniversary patch brought tutorial improvements and control updates; and a February 2025 update added controller rumble and replaced a puzzle segment in the final level. None of these updates represent new story chapters, expansions, or announced future content. The anniversary post on October 21, 2024 mentioned "a fun announcement coming soon," but the subsequent February 2025 feature patch — which focused on Discord launch and content tweaks — appears to have fulfilled that teaser. No roadmap, season pass, or unshipped DLC has been announced. The developer has not communicated any plans for additional story content or expansions. The game shipped as a finished, complete product, and the post-launch activity reflects ongoing maintenance and polish rather than an active development cycle adding new content. There is no DLC listed on the store. The most recent developer communication was on February 2, 2025.

About this game

Offered as sacrifice, you play as a character desperately seeking escape from a dark presence lurking within the catacombs. Trapped below, danger lurks in a world frozen by fear.

With the help of a mysterious guide, you’re not alone on your journey. To survive this perilous trial, use your wits to platform, swing, and sneak as you endure treacherous forces at every turn.

Originally created as a submission for the Brackey’s Game Jam 2022.2 and ranked 14th place, the short and sweet game of 'We’re Tethered Together' has been redeveloped from the ground up.

Will you escape... or become another offering?
