The diorama loop is conventional: assemble and paint trains and miniature houses, photograph the finished scene, sell the photo to a collector, spend the money on new models. The graphics are rough in the original PlayStation manner. What the footage adds is the tunnel itself. A railway track runs through the mouth of a trembling human, and a model train passes through. On Reddit, ipip said players also need to keep the tunnels alive. The method is not disclosed, but the trailer shows what appears to be a heart rate being read on an electrocardiogram monitor. Humans Are Tunnels targets a late November release. The platform is unannounced.
