Although there’s still a lot more to uncover about Tuned In in the coming weeks, the studio promises players an engaging, ever-shifting anthology of nightmares. Each story draws from a different horror sub-genre, giving it its own distinct identity, from the gritty, heavy-ink shadows of a slasher to the muted, grainy textures of atmospheric folk horror all brought to life through a striking, visceral graphic novel aesthetic. Tuned In is set to launch on Steam and Steam Deck in 2027 with a Kickstarter campaign launching this September.
