TUNIC

About the game

A small fox washes up in a ruined land in TUNIC, an isometric action game from Andrew Shouldice. Armed mostly with curiosity, you explore shady forests, sprawling ruins and labyrinthine catacombs that loop back into each other, hunting for a treasure rumoured to lie beyond a golden door, deep underground or in a palace above the clouds. Along the way you pick up strange and powerful items that help you on your way. Combat is technical: you dodge, block, parry and strike, learning how to handle a wide range of monsters and bosses big and small. A big part of the game is rebuilding its own Instruction Manual, page by page, with maps, tips, special techniques and full-colour illustrations that reveal how the world works and point towards secret relics, puzzles and techniques. Sound design is by Power Up Audio and the soundtrack by Lifeformed (Terence Lee and Janice Kwan).
