Wholesome precision platformer TetherGeist slated for Nintendo Switch

Today, O. and Co. Games announced that it will be bringing TetherGeist to Nintendo Switch. Launch timing has yet to be decided.

TetherGeist is a wholesome precision platformer in which players guide Mae and her axolotl spirit Bao on a coming-of-age pilgrimage through a mysterious world. Players will need to master tight controls with Astral Projection to overcome challenges and discover that curiosity and perseverance are rewarded.

Here’s some additional information:

TetherGeist is a wholesome precision platformer about Mae, her spirit companion Bao, and a coming-of-age pilgrimage where growth comes from curiosity, persistence, and self-reliance.

A Platformer About Growth, Not Combat: Every challenge in TetherGeist is overcome through timing, momentum, and careful movement in this combat-free adventure.

Astral Projection as Expressive Mastery: Mae uses Bao to project her spirit, navigating the world in inventive ways. Each chapter adds new movement mechanics to explore with.

Challenging but Supportive Design: Frequent checkpoints and instant retries keep the experience forgiving, encouraging experimentation and progress.

Representation Matters: The game addresses disability, social dynamics, and spirituality. Mae’s motor disability shapes her journey, Foyal wrestles with faith, and NPCs reflect diverse cultures, identities, and classes. Many were designed with Kickstarter backers.

Characters That Resonate: The heart of TetherGeist is its people. Players meet NPCs with rich personalities, diverse backgrounds, and meaningful struggles. Relationships, interactions, and choices bring depth to the world, making each encounter memorable.
