What Breath Bound is

Breath Bound is an adventure game developed by Fireslug Studios and released in 2026. It is available on Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity 6.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The way up is harder than the way down. You both start at the bottom of the sea, slow and careful, sharing a single tank of air. Bubbles are scarce, currents tug, and every movement must be timed together as you rise toward the surface. Try it solo to manage both divers at once, or tackle the climb with a partner. The ascent is brief but tense, and every exchange matters.
