"After reading the manual on how to play I have returned to Tethered... I still skipped the tutorial and went straight to World II. Turns out weather is a very useful thing in this game, as you are able to link weather together or to enemies, peeps, or even resources.

I have found that the game gets quite challenging, when your population grows, or your attacked by large amounts of enemies at night. The game seems to blend strategy with god game, since without strategy, and fast work, it may be hard to win.

This one world alone took me almost an hour to complete and its only the first of 12 worlds plus the tutorial level which I skipped.

I highly recommend this game, the graphics, and sound are great. Controls are fairly intuitive, the gameplay is deep and full of things to do. Seems as if it would give a 10+ hours of gametime..."
