About
Embark on a grand adventure worthy of a true animated movie with Darwin, an octopus as charming as he is clever, ripped from the ocean and trapped in a massive and mysterious industrial complex. With his extraordinary intelligence and incredible abilities – swimming, camouflage, and many other fascinating skills – help him overcome the most formidable traps and dangers in this captivating platformer, adventure, and puzzle game.
In the peaceful vastness of the ocean, Darwin, a young octopus, explores the deep sea… until a strange beam of light pierces the abyss and pulls him toward the surface. Thrust out of his aquatic world, he wakes up disoriented in the middle of a gigantic junkyard, backed by a foreboding factory.
But something is wrong. Between the threatening machines, strange holding tanks, and the mysterious and dangerous creatures and characters that inhabit the place, Darwin realizes he is in danger. To return to the ocean, Darwin will have to outsmart, evolve, and reveal to the players through his journey the mysteries of a conspiracy that goes beyond anything one could have imagined… and which could very well seal the fate of humanity!

虽然它流程很短，但是它价格也贵
通关后 我好像能理解为什么首发3个月就4折了 这应该是我玩过手感最稀烂的平台跳跃游戏 搭配略长的死亡机关十分折磨人 优化也不太行 5070ti 4k很卡
It's not amazing. It's funny and the puzzles are okay. It feels a little underdeveloped in some places, and it ends very abruptly and unsatisfyingly, which tainted the entire game for me. I dunno. I give it a 5.5 out of 10.
I thought I found a very good game for the steam deck, but after 20 crashes of the game on the 3rd mission, I deleted it. I hope you will fix it, and i’ll change my review in the future. And it's too bad that you don't translate your games into Russian.
I always get excited for these types of games of games, especially when they are made with the quality and presentation of this one, but unfortunately this one did not click with me. The movement is slow and tedious, the puzzles are quite lame, and the only thing keeping me engaged was being able to say that I completed the game. If you love 2.5D platformers, this may be worth a purchase while on sale, but otherwise I do not recommend.
Весёлые приключения осьминога в очень приятной мультяшной графике. Музыка классная, как в старых классических фильмах про НЛО. Платформинг и головоломки интересные, способности нашего героя хорошо вписываются в геймплей. Сложность нормальная, есть несколько глав, где приходится попотеть, но в целом расслабляющий процесс. Из минусов только продолжительность ~4,5 часа и вы у титров. Есть задел для продолжения :)
Годный платформер про осьминожку. Они реально сами как инопланетяне, а попутно спецагенты: 8 конечностей, маскируются, пуляются краской, имеют по 3 сердца, лазят по стенам присосками и имеют голубую кровь... История забавная, как и стиль подачи, в духе мультиков пиксар. Моментами может подушить своими загадками.
OK, so again a dev team decides to not support Ultrawide screens. I didn't know all dev teams made games on screen from the 50's but evidence speaks to the contrary. For that reason alone I wont recommend. Fix this BS.
descrita en 2 palabras: perfección y divertido, de esos que ya no se ven mucho con los juegos actuales, imperdible sin duda alguna. Definitivamente de lo mejor que se puede encontrar aquí en Steam. 100% recomendable gráficos 100/10 jugabilidad 100/10 ambientación 100/10 banda sonora 100/10 historia 100/10 me encanto
What a banger. It's basically family friendly Inside. A lot of great ideas executed near perfectly. Looks great, runs great, and kept surprising from start till finish. Great job devs!
