Stream Brief
What it's like to stream Chained Together
Chained Together turns a platforming climb into a shared physics problem. You and your friends are linked by a fully simulated chain that can wrap around platforms. You climb from Hell through diverse worlds, coordinating clambering and precise jumps as each layer gets tougher. That creates clean stream beats, with regrouping between attempts, a checkpoint-assisted Beginner run, or the rising pressure of Lava when constantly rising flames enter the picture.
Use a small friend group, give one player the callout role on hard jumps, and let the others focus on timing and chain placement. Let chat pick the next mode, then commit to Beginner, Normal, or Lava so the choice shapes the run. Once the climb is stable, close with Normal or Lava leaderboard attempts. Leaderboard and achievement validity is tied to those modes, while Lava’s rising flames create a clear pressure spike.
