Sole Tunnels 2024

Sole Tunnels is a semi-abstract game for 1 player who takes on the role of a light infantry company commander attempting to clear a small complex of tunnels underneath a dense urban area.

The player must make decisions and manage Enablers, the array of skilled troops and machinery that exist to support and augment the power of the main Maneuver Units in the forces they command. They must explore the tunnel complex and contend with enemy defenders, barriers, mines and IEDs that frustrate them in terms of both taking undue casualties and too much time to accomplish the mission.

The game ends when the player has fulfilled the victory conditions of the scenario they are playing. This may involve locating Civilian hostages or intelligence-yielding items, sweeping and clearing the complex, or inflicting casualties on the enemy.

A simple, fast and all-too-modern adaptation of the randomized tile-laying dungeon crawler.
