Our take on Old Tunnel
Automatic movement keeps attention on immediate choices, but it gives up the freedom to stop and explore the tunnels at the player’s own pace. Cooldown-based abilities add timing pressure while limiting combat options during their recovery periods.
What is Old Tunnel?
Old Tunnel follows an armed guard through underground passages while a group of archaeologists faces danger near a mythical spring said to restore youth.
The game combines side-view platforming and automatic forward movement with real-time battles. Since the character advances without direct control of movement, each moment requires a choice such as jumping over an obstacle, rolling beneath it, or raising a shield against a threat. Skills operate on cooldowns, adding timing constraints to encounters with underground monsters. Traps and other hazards can end a run early. Pixel graphics and music present the tunnels as dark, mysterious corridors.
