The adorable fox-themed Tunic is making the leap to PlayStation and Switch soon. Ahead of these releases, its developer has shared some behind the scenes titbits about the game’s manual, including how a real one was made to ensure authenticity within the game
Sharing on the PlayStation Blog, Tunic’s lead developer Andrew Shouldice expressed his love for old-school game’s manuals. “The more I thought about it though, the more I realised that my love for this kind of mystery came not just from the games, but from the manuals they were packaged with,” Shouldice wrote, stating he would “pore over these documents endlessly”.
Such was Shouldice’s love for these manuals, he decided to incorporate one into Tunic’s gameplay. In this case, the player picks up pages for the manual as they make their way through the game’s mysterious word. These are then pieced together, allowing the player to uncover more of Tunic’s many (many) secrets.
