Tunnels, and this review, is composed of a 3x3 grid. A fragment of text occupies some squares, while solid black fills others. The blackout squares grow progressively more frequent as we tunnel deeper until that darkness consumes us. The reader chooses their own direction: across from left to right, down from top to bottom, or through to the next page’s corresponding square.
