The programs are an anthology of nightmares: one channel forces a stealth escape from a dark mansion, another drops the player into a quiz show where human lives are at stake. There is also platformer action through a forest and exploration puzzles that pull hints from a room. Choices and puzzle completion branch the story toward eight endings, and backtracking through tuned channels unlocks new frequencies and hidden episodes. The comic book art style carries the presentation. Tuned In: The Prologue is on Steam, with a Kickstarter campaign planned. The game does not support Japanese.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Vercors Games, a new Spanish studio of Tequila Works veterans, showed Tuned In at gamescom: a horror game played entirely through an old CRT TV interface.
