Hi folks!

Jordan, Noah, and Rae here, AKA O & Co. Games, the team behind TetherGeist. We just wanted to let you guys know that TetherGeist has been nominated as a finalist for Best Game, Best Impact, Best Art, and Best Sound at the upcoming BIG Festival.

It's quite incredible to see our labour of love next to amazing games such as Moonlighter 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. We are very grateful to be part of this event that will be happening during gamescom LATAM and are super excited to see more people try out TetherGeist!

Please follow us here for updates, or check out our Youtube Channel, where we’ve been posting regular vlogs about the development journey.

Thank you so much for following up with our updates, we’ll be back soon with more news!

All the best,

Jordan, Noah & Rae
