Funnel Runners casts players as a field team on an APEX Storm Monitoring Services deployment, facing a powerful tornado while trying to gather data and survive. Its first-person presentation puts the focus on a city being steadily battered by severe weather rather than on distant storm watching. The premise combines storm monitoring with a desperate effort to keep a vehicle operational.
The practical challenge is scavenging for vehicle parts, fuel, and tools, then repairing the van before conditions worsen. Tornados and storms appear randomly and intensify over time, while collapsing buildings can destroy both routes and the areas where useful items might have been found. Players therefore have to adapt as the map changes. Each run also varies its environments, weather, items, and vehicle problems, giving the survival task a different set of complications.
Funnel Runners supports solo play as well as online cooperation with up to eight players. Friends can share gadgets and divide the search across the city, while a solo player takes on the same storm-threatened mission alone.
