Tetherbones
A downloadable game for Windows
You are the last bone-tender. Your job? Keep the forgotten dead company.
In Tetherbones, manage a small graveside inventory of memories, tokens, and body parts. Each night, a restless spirit visits your campfire. You have until dawn to find what they lost — buried somewhere in your own past.
Dig. Remember. Sort. Let go.
Features:
- Grid-based inventory with emotional weight (items degrade if ignored)
- 9 spirits, 9 endings, 1 campfire
- No combat — all tension comes from choosing what to keep and what to burn
- Hand-drawn ink-and-bone art style
- Playtime: 2–3 hours (replayable)
- Pet a skeletal dog. He remembers you.
“Grief is just love with nowhere to sit. Give it a chair.”
