Tunnel Vision

About

You play as Suoni V Linnet, trapped in a sparse room with no memory of a crime you’re accused of. Paralyzed below the waist, you navigate tense dialogue with three enigmatic entities: a masked figure, a hyperactive child, and a curious cat. Every choice shapes Linnet’s fragile grasp on reality and the world beyond the room. The visual novel leans into quiet dread, blending sparse text with unsettling silence and sudden jolts of sound. Customization lets you pick voice tone and pronouns, but trust is scarce, your decisions might unlock answers or deepen the mystery. Made in one month for a horror-focused visual novel jam, Tunnel Vision packs a surprising amount of narrative weight into its 2, 3 hour runtime. Player forums highlight its knack for ambiguity, where answers feel just out of reach. The lack of combat or action keeps tension coiled in conversation, and the trio of visitors each hint at darker layers. It’s a short trip, but the tight script and eerie pacing leave a lingering unease.

Storyline

Awakening in an empty room, paralysed from the waist down and accused of a crime they have no memory of committing, our protagonist hopes to escape the dire situation they seem to be in when it soon becomes apparent they are not alone. Faced with an eccentric mask-wearing entity, an overly enthusiastic child, and a curious cat, Linnet must tread carefully with each interaction. But when Linnet can't even trust their own mind, what hope do they have of attaining freedom? What price are they willing to pay for it? And what sort of world exists on the outside? Your choices will impact more than just Linnet's fate. Help Linnet discover the truth, who they can trust, and perhaps even a little companionship along the way. For better or for worse, only you can determine what awaits at the end of spiraling obsession. Sometimes, it's best to remain oblivious.
