What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I am a solo developer on this project and my resources are limited, Early Access can give me flexibilty and opportunity to deliver a great experience, I can get crucial feedback from the community in terms of balance and game mechanics.
”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 3-4 months, the full release will be around January 2027. This may change based on player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“My intention is to deliver an enhanced, more polished experience,to add game content such as new cards, card mechanics, and enemy encounters, to refine the balance of cards and to conclude the development of a new game mode.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Tether and Talon core gameplay loop is fully implemented, 2 different game modes are available and complete with the third one in development.
The game already offers multiple Leader characters, recruitable characters with more on the way and a large pool of cards to make every run fun and diverse.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, at the moment it is my intention to have the full release at a higher price compared to Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I intent to engage with player feedback in multiple ways : Steam community page, reviews and social media. Feedback will play an important role in the development of the Tether and Talon, to understand what aspects of the game are working, what cards and mechanics players enjoy and what aspects are failing to meet expectations and require further work and improvement.”

About This Game

A new Deckbuilding Adventure:

The gates of the Nether have opened, monsters invaded the land, corruption spreads among the people, quick we need a CHAMPION!

Descend into the Nether to defeat the dark emperors and close the gates.

As the player you will choose a champion, gather powerful cards, befriend powerful creatures and make your way through increasingly powerful enemies to reach the Core.

This game is a classic deckbuilding game with a monster battling twist, as you progress through the game you will gather new creatures to make your team stronger.

You will unlock and buy more cards to Tether the most powerful deck together.

Every creatures brings their own kit of cards to your deck, find synergies between different creatures, unlock powerful Team cards, unleash devastantingly powerful effects on your foes, do it all with style,power and cuteness, Yes! there are plenty of cute creatures to discover.

This game is a passion project, I decided to combine two genres that I love and the art style, for me, brings it all together for a great gaming experience.

I grew up with Game Boy in hand so this style will always be dear to me and perhaps if you (reading this) are a little like me that there will be a lot of things you will enjoy as well.

Everything about this game reflects my personality and passion and hopefully it is able to deliver a beautiful and enjoyable experience for all the players.

This game will launch with a free demo and in Early access.

Thank you.
