Lever and Its Owner
ThisThe theory is aboutof the lever and its owner in Tunic.
Lever
The world of tunicTunic beingis athe "lever"lever," and the lever has a connection to arethe worldplayer's world, which is why wethe playplayer plays as the ruinRuin seekerSeeker and can control itstheir every move. The "lever" that I am saying is stillmetaphorical, somewhatas metaphorical it is just how it is explainedwhile there may not be a physical lever but just howlever, it worksfunctions as a connection to connectthe it to areplayer's world.
ThereThe isCanonical a plane called the canonical plane (it isPlane, the world of tunic)Tunic, is also the bar for the "lever"lever." (if you remember yourIn science, you know that there are three type of leverslevers, theand onethis thatwould Ifunction am referencing isas a first class.)class thelever. The effort force is youthe player controlling the Ruin seeker or Hero.Seeker, the load is the HeroRuin itselfSeeker thethemselves, farand shoreThe Far Shore is the fulcrum (the point at which youone pivotpivots the lever bar),. and thisThis is the connection on how youthe areplayer is able to control the Hero.Ruin Seeker.
Potential Prequel
