Tunnel Story directly taps into the golden age of 8-bit and 16-bit JRPGs from the 1980s and 90s. It's for anyone who remembers the magic of discovering a new world in a cartridge, with only the box art and a paper manual to guide them. This isn't just a fantasy game with JRPG themes. It's built from the ground up to emulate the core JRPG loop: grinding, strategic leveling, and powerful boss encounters for an authentic, analog JRPG experience. Our pixel art is a deliberate, striking choice that celebrates a beloved digital art form. in Tunnel Story, players explore an unknown map, turning tiles over to battle monsters, find loot, and locate the tunnel to the Boss Monster. Players must defeat the 3 curses of the Boss Monster to defeat him. But, if any member of the team fails, the game is lost. -description from the publisher
