At Two Towers Studios we are making our debut #indiegame Twined! An adventure set in a watercolour world where your choices shape your tribe and its future!

@game_machinee Thanks for hosting #showmesunday to all #indiedevs

At @TwoTowers_Games we are progressing with our prototype for our first #indiegame . This week we’ve build the pick-up interaction.

We are testing the pick-up interaction

Putting a chicken in your pocket may not be a usual interaction but it's super fun and perfect for prototyping!

I find it so cute I’m thinking of keeping it! What do you think?

New battle animation unlocked

Guided by the Bear, the Great Plains warrior is deadly with his axe.
Strong, practical, focused on building and protecting the tribe.

@TwoTowers_Games Great insights

[Two Towers Studios | TWINED @TwoTowers_Games]

We made the risky decision to remove text and HUD in Twined.

Early versions explained everything. It worked — technically
But players understood what was happening, not why.

So we let the world speak instead.
Consequences aren’t explained. They’re lived.

Deep in the mountains lives a beast you shouldn’t provoke 🐻
Aggressive. Unpredictable.
Better to stay away — but what happens if you don’t?
It may surprise you.

🐸 New character unlocked!
The enemy tribe’s hunter moves like their spirit — the frog.
Quiet. Agile. Unpredictable.
They strike from the wetlands and vanish before you know they were there.

Hey fellow #indiedevs what did you learn this year?

As a young #indiegame studio we are learning A LOT and fast!

One of the most important learning this year is that #community is everything. So we’ll be looking to connect more here on X in 2026!

How about you?

[Two Towers Studios | TWINED @TwoTowers_Games]

Why Twined gets compared to Cult of the Lamb.

Similarity: player choices shape a community and affect the world.
Difference: Twined is an adventure, not a management game. No stats, no HUD, no text — everything is told through visuals and sound.

Yesterday we attended #BolognaGameFarm 🎮

A great event full of insightful talks on #gamedev and wonderful people.

It’s always special to reconnect with the #indiegames scene of our home city 🇮🇹

Can’t wait to be back next year!

@TwoTowers_Games 🤣🤣🤣

The best part of early prototype testing is finding the most silly bugs!

This is from a few months ago at #gamescom2025. We had so much fun!

@TwoTowers_Games ❤️❤️❤️

Adding small life details to Twined ✨

Animals now wander through the village, bringing movement and warmth to the world.

Interactions are still WIP — but how cute is this? ❤️

Temporary. Silly. Perfect for now.

Did you know that Twined is a wordless game?
No dialogue. No text.
Everything unfolds through images, sounds, and your interpretation.
It’s about atmosphere, intuition, and emotional storytelling.

A new warrior emerges from the enemy tribe.
Guided by the snake 🐍 — swift, precise, and dangerously quiet.
Not just a fighter, but full of hidden tactics 🗡️

@TwoTowers_Games Definitely A for me!

Help us choose the final design for our tribe of the high mountains 🏔️
We’ve got 5 options (A to E) — each one shaped by snow, silence, and survival.
Which one feels right to you?
