Only Up: Chans Together — a unique cooperative platformer developed on Unreal Engine 5. The main characters are fragile yet determined anime girls, bound together by a chain and adorned with mysterious chastity belts. Your goal is to overcome numerous challenges with your friends and climb to the very top, where the key to freedom awaits!
Players must work as a team, as every move made by one character directly affects the other. Conquer dizzying platforms, avoid traps, and find ways to use the chain as a tool rather than a burden.
Backstory
In a distant, fantastical world where the skies connect to the earth through towering structures and hanging cities, mysterious forces enslave the souls of the defiant. The anime girls, protagonists of the game, have become victims of an ancient curse. They are bound by magical chastity belts that symbolize their imprisonment, and the chains linking them serve as a reminder that freedom can only be achieved through mutual effort.
Legend speaks of a key hidden at the peak of a magnificent tower, capable of breaking the chains and returning freedom to the heroines. But the path to the summit is fraught with danger: narrow bridges, crumbling stairways, floating platforms, and countless traps. Success requires working together, as every step of one hero influences the other.
