SHACKLED (timothyquach, michaelacfaith)

Bound by the same chains of fate, two players take the descent to ensure the survival of their partner. Sacrifice yourself and keep your partner moving in this frantic game of loss.

The "Entity" chases both players as they drop to the end. That said, it'll only take one of you. Stall your fall by landing on platforms and sacrifice yourself for your partner.

But watch out! Your partner can destroy the platform you are on to make sure you keep moving.
