The Tunnels

Yawn. No game here. Just terrorist propaganda. Free to play, but still feel ripped off.

The Tunnels is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, The Tunnels is a software application that is political propaganda. It's not a game. It's couched as an "art" experience, but it's not... you just move through a randomly arranged set of (asset flipped) sewer tiles which is supposed to invoke an emotional response about the developers political agenda. I'll be the first to say politics has no place in gaming; this is not making politics better, it's making gaming worse. And this isn't even a game. Can you imagine the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of anyone who would try to shove political propaganda into Steam as if it was a game? Why is this good for gamers? It's not. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played". This has misleadingly been launched in the "Games" section of Steam instead of the "Software" section. This is a common mistake for developers who are new to Steam, or don't understand the difference between games and software which isn't a game. It seems this software published incorrectly as a game is simply lack of experience/knowledge of the correct process. Here's a link for the process to publish non-game software on Steam: [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing?issueid=925]Steam Developer Help With Software Publishing[/url] It's unfortunate this process was not known about/followed, resulting in a software application being published in the wrong place. Publishing things which aren't games on Steam in the Games section as games is misleading to gamers and somewhat harmful, because it pollutes the Steam marketplace and takes away visibility and market exposure for genuine game developers who do the right thing and make games for gamers. There are no gameplay loops in this political propaganda software, no "gameplay", no meaningful game like interaction. It's a software application and as such has no merits as a video game for gamers. Because of this, I cannot recommend this non-game software as a game to gamers.

Amazing work !

Just a reminder to everyone that not all people in Gaza are a part of Hamas, nor do they support Hamas. Anti-civilian death propaganda is not pro-terrorist propaganda. And before you start talking about propaganda, please, with all due respect, educate yourself on the words you're using. Any medium that tries to make you think or feel in certain way, whatever way that may be, is a kind of propaganda. All advertisements are propaganda, yet we don't attack Nestlé ads as being 'pro-child labor propaganda', because they aren't.

Tüneller, keder dışında herkesin kaybettiği prosedürel bir labirent ortamıdır. Yalnızca nihai gerçek olabilecek şey, insanlığımızdan geriye kalanları gösteren bir aynadır. Ancak bu koridorda ulaşılması gereken bir son vardır.
