Survival horror

Tethered Sorrow is a single-player narrative survival horror. Inspired by a real story, the game places players in the role of a mother navigating isolation, physical deterioration, and psychological instability connected to her own childhood trauma.

The enemy you fight is within your own body, the resources you manage help you barely function in your fragile state. But you have to keep going, for your baby.

In the style of horror games like Silent Hill, the player must navigate surreal surroundings and faceless threats to explore and discover the pieces of the story buried within Veronica’s mind. While this happens they will experience the illness symptoms as mechanics that alter their perception of sound, light and the environment, and will need to track and figure out ways to manage these symptoms in order to progress in the game.

Tethered Sorrow is in development by 6 out of 10 Studios. Follow us for updates.
