Over the last decade, videogames have gotten much better at communication. After so many years, we've finally got comprehensive tutorials, clear user interfaces and well-paced difficulty curves that never leave you overwhelmed or confused - but have videogames lost something in this transition to easy-to-play accessibility? The Architect thinks so.

After stumbling their way through forests, caverns and ancient ruins, The Architect has uncovered scraps of an ancient manual, containing a hidden secret within: Sometimes, hiding information from the player, and making learning itself part of a game's challenge, can make eventual mastery all that more satisfying. Luckily for us, Tunic is here to show us how this nearly-forgotten technique is done.
