Publisher Mastiff and developer Nomad Monkey have revealed that the subterranean VR horror game Tunnels will release on Meta Quest on May 15th. Additionally, an all-new trailer premiered earlier today as part of the Ruff Talk VR Games Showcase, highlighting new thrills for players to unearth next month.
A viral VR sensation, the Tunnels demo version, released in 2023, amassed over 150K downloads. The upcoming release includes an enhanced free-to-play multiplayer experience and a trial version of the brand-new single-player experience. The full single-player experience will be available for download as DLC for $14.99 USD.
Tunnels is a heart-pounding, claustrophobia-inducing VR horror experience in which players are trapped deep underground in an abandoned mine shaft. Armed with only their wits, they’ll explore suffocating passageways and encounter horrors lurking in the shadows. Will players escape with their sanity intact, or will the tunnels claim them and their friends forever?
Key Features of Tunnels:
- Claustrophobic Terror – Squeeze through narrow crevices, feel the walls closing in, and fight to keep your sanity as the mine and the creatures within it collapse in on the players.
- Immersive Single-Player Adventure – Players are engulfed in boundary-pushing VR gameplay as they embark on a story-driven plunge into suffocating darkness, relying solely on a lone voice over the radio to survive.
- Nightmarish Gameplay Variety – Players must plunge into eerie underground lakes, zipline over bottomless chasms, and scale sheer cliffs—all while evading the nightmarish creatures lurking in the depths.
- Free-to-Play Multiplayer – Beyond the premium single-player campaign, Players can team up with friends and strangers in the free-to-play online co-op mode where survival depends on teamwork or betrayal.
- Customize Your Survivor – Players can customize their multiplayer character with unique gear and show off their style as they confront the mine’s horrors together with friends.
Media and attendees at PAX East in Boston (May 8-11) will get the chance to explore Tunnels ahead of launch, as Mastiff will have hands-on demos of the game at booth #21087 in Exhibit Hall B.
Suitable for the Meta Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3, and 3S, Tunnels will be available starting May 15 on the Meta store.
