About the Game
A chain-linked climbing adventure where up to four players escape the depths of hell together.
Chained Together is an indie adventure with casual and simulation touches, built around a simple but demanding idea: you start deep in hell and try to climb as high as you can. Every jump needs careful timing and coordination, because you are linked to your companions by a chain. The game is developed by Anegar Games and Lab42 and published by Secret Mode, and its Steam tags place it under adventure, casual, indie, and simulation.
The core loop is climbing. Each run pushes you upward through a series of worlds, and each world introduces its own new challenge. The chain is more than decoration. The store description says it is driven by physics simulation and can wrap around platforms, so the way it swings and tangles becomes part of the puzzle. Whether you play solo or bring friends, the game adapts to the number of players, with local multiplayer for up to four people.
Three difficulty modes shape how punishing the climb feels. Beginner includes a pause-menu option that returns you to your highest point before a major fall. Normal offers no particular help, so a bad fall means starting over. Lava mode adds pressure: you must climb quickly or the rising lava catches you. Leaderboards and Steam achievements only count in Normal and Lava.
Progress is saved automatically at regular intervals in Beginner and Normal, so you can pick up where you left off, as long as you return in the same mode with the same number of players. A leaderboard tracks your escape time and lets you compare completion times across different player setups, which gives the climb a competitive edge for speedrunners and friend groups.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy cooperative, physics-driven climbing and want a game they can share with friends will likely get the most out of Chained Together. Beginner mode and automatic saves make it easier to learn the chain mechanics without constant punishment, while Normal and Lava reward sharper coordination. Groups who like comparing completion times will also find the leaderboard useful.
Not Recommended For
Anyone who needs Traditional Chinese text should look elsewhere, since English is the only listed language. Solo players who dislike starting over after a long fall may find Normal and Lava frustrating, and Lava mode in particular asks you to keep moving quickly.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Chained Together holds a Very Positive rating on Steam, with about 90 percent of its reviews positive. The total runs to tens of thousands of reviews, a volume large enough that the percentage is a fairly dependable signal of how most players feel about the game.
Steam derives its labels from the share of positive reviews, so a Very Positive range generally means most reviewers were happy with the core experience. A rating this high with a large sample is more stable than the same percentage on a newer release with only a few hundred reviews. Keep in mind that a percentage describes overall sentiment, not whether the game matches your preferred difficulty or playstyle.
