Get personalized picks →Chained Together is a 2024 indie release from Anegar Games that blends adventure, simulation, and casual gameplay into a unique cooperative experience. Players navigate a dark, hellish environment while physically chained to companions, creating inherent tension and chaos. The core challenge lies in synchronized movement—each player must coordinate climbing obstacles and progressing through checkpoints together. The game supports solo play but truly shines in multiplayer, where the difficulty transforms into a bonding experience that players find simultaneously frustrating and compelling. Achievement hunting provides additional motivation, with unlockable rewards encouraging repeated attempts. The $4.99 price point makes this cooperative puzzle-platformer accessible to groups seeking chaotic shared challenges. The game is not supported on Steam Deck but has accumulated nearly 20,000 Steam reviews with a 91% positive rating.
