Chained Together: The New Game That's Bringing Players Closer Than Ever

Chained Together lures players into a hellish yet hilarious quest for survival, where being literally tied to your teammate is just the beginning of the challenge.

Chained Together isn't just a game — it's a friendship test packaged as a wild ride through hell. Released by the indie team Anegar Games on June 19, 2024, this game ties players together (yep, with a virtual chain) and challenges them to climb out of hell. The catch? You can only succeed by working closely with your buddies, which means a lot of shouting, laughing, and maybe a "bit" of cursing.

Streaming Stardom

Since its launch, Chained Together has exploded on Twitch. It's the perfect mix of fun and frustration that makes for great streaming. Viewers are loving watching their favorite streamers try to coordinate with each other, often hilariously failing in the process. It’s climbing the Twitch ranks faster than players in the game are climbing out of their fiery pit.

For now, you can only play Chained Together on your PC, available on Steam with a cheeky little discount to get you started. While it's PC-only at the moment, the buzz around the game has the devs thinking about bringing it to consoles like Xbox and PlayStation. Nothing's set in stone yet, but keep those fingers crossed (and maybe not chained) for future updates. The game is pretty cheap, but if you want free games, check this out.

Why So Much Buzz?

What’s really cool about Chained Together is how it literally ties players together in the game. This means you have to not just play alongside your friends, but really sync up with them. It's not every day you see a game that makes you depend this much on your buddy's next move. It’s a bit like a three-legged race, but if the race was in a volcano and the prize was escaping eternal doom.

As Chained Together continues to heat up the gaming scene, everyone’s watching to see what’s next. Will it hit consoles? Will it make or break friendships? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: if you thought navigating your relationships was tough, try doing it attached by a chain in a game. Good luck, gamers! You might need it.
