Did I find this strange object? How can you defeat that crazy boss? Who is that old man in the cave? Will that creature really be the enemy? In short, how can you recreate an experience that is accessible … to anyone?
So Schultz, who has told stories of many levels of design, character, puzzle, animation, fighting, programming, lighting, and tunic, began to create an early version of our little hero with a triangular head, which gave him all the charm.

না Complete with bizarre notes written by the previous owner, without forgetting a very detailed instruction manual that serves as a guide to the puzzle (and strategy). It is difficult to explain how the manual works in the game without revealing the most interesting puzzles that have appeared in the gaming world for a long time, but it is really full of information, wonder and mystery.
The final step was to form an exceptional team that could bring the juicy world of Tunic to life.

Although Tunic was conceived as the adventure of a single player, there will be much to talk about and many mysteries to unravel, so much so that it will always take a special party of friends to help unravel the most bizarre mysteries. We’re also designing gameplay guide content on the PS5 so that players can get off to a good start, avoiding annoying spoilers even when they’re stuck in the game’s terrible masters or puzzles.
Although Tunic is heavily inspired by the most challenging games of the present and past, it has a number of options that allow players to customize the level of challenge to suit their needs and interests, without compromising on the fun of facing formidable opponents. . Players are free to ignore the more technical aspects of combat or even activate a “safe” mode. Maybe you’re a newcomer to action RPGs made with Somersault and Dodge, or you’re playing your first adventure with a young person, or you’ve just returned from a difficult week and just like to dedicate yourself to incredible puzzles. In short, this game is suitable for every need.
