my physical copy of the Tunic manual arrived and i might have spent a little too much time talking about how ambitous and cleverly designed it is, how i love the writing system, that it puts enough trust in its players to figure out some very involved puzzles, how elegantly it plays with knowledge as a progression mechanic, and how spectacularly it hit on part of the nostalgic feeling of playing an old rental game with a damaged, missing, or just poorly translated manual
i love that i get to own a little replica of it as a tangible object
