Transcript

A small studio wanted to create the most realistic tornado hunting simulator ever made, but it was so accurate they had to turn it into a horror game. The game replicates the unpredictability of weather so well, they invited Fox Weather's meteorologists who track for a living. Storms took you're dropped into a city with one job, fix a broken van and escape before an F5 hits. The buildings you're looting collapse while you're still inside them. The areas you are torn apart before you can get there. And if the wind catches you in the open, it doesn't kill you, it lifts you off the ground, carries you away and you're found again. It's the studio's first game and it already has over 100,000 wishlists before the game is Funnel Runners and it's releasing on Steam on July 16th.
