TUNIC is amazing because of how it mechanically uses its manual in a way that narratively makes sense, not just with its healing system but also everything else it is... BEAUTIFUL!

2024-04-26 21:36:17 +0000 UTCYou’re not wrong about the reinforcement loop problem, and I’ve run into it myself because I’m not incredible at these games, but I was hoping you would list the one positive of blood vials before nuking them, which is that a new player doesn’t feel as tethered to the checkpoint when they can replenish their healing resources on the fly while advancing through a level to try to get to the next checkpoint.
