Play Overview
Tunic (2022) is an action-adventure game where you play a small fox who wakes with no memory of where he is. You push through trees, pick up weapons and learn new moves to discover an expanse of forests, caves and landscapes. It stands out not only for the Zelda-like adventure but for how the game evolves in unexpected ways that you realise are present right from the start.
Play involves exploration and puzzle solving along with challenging encounters with enemies. You must develop the skills and resources to beat them and progress. You choose your own way forward and decide how and when to take on new areas and enemies. Many routes and secrets are hidden in plain sight for the more inquisitive player.
Cryptic runes and flashbacks hint at your memory of the place, but it remains unfamiliar. Then there are those pages of the manual you find, packed full not only of tips but other hints at what is going on. It's the intrigue as much as the challenge that calls you forward.
With hand-drawn style visuals and an eerie soundscape, Tunic tells a story about overcoming loneliness. As a stranger in a strange land, you push on to discover if you are the only one here. Venture too far too soon and it becomes clear that this is not a world inviting your presence. There are terrible things out there, and this tiny fox is going to dig deep to find out why.

Benefits
Age Ratings
Content Rating
Rated for younger players in Europe. Rated PEGI 7 for Fear and Mild Violence. This game features mild violence between fantasy characters. Damage is indicated on a health bar, without visible injuries or blood effects. Enemies flash when hit and disappear in a puff of smoke when defeated. The player's character faints and falls to the ground when defeated, before respawning at a checkpoint. There are occasional scary scenes, including a giant skeleton which pops up from the dark, and pitch-black areas filled with hidden enemies. There is also a scene in which the 'shades' of creatures are seen trapped in boxes, crying out.
Although the game is cartoon in style, there are ferocious monsters and colossal beasts who attack and the screen glows red when you are almost dead.
