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!

コミカルな演出が目白押しのパズルプラットフォーマー。あちこち寄り道しつつ5時間弱でクリア。 幾つか進み方が分かり辛いと感じるところはありましたが、ヒント機能(短い一文で解法の取っ掛かりを示す形)が有るので詰むことはないはず。 簡単過ぎない程度の難易度に、徐々に明らかになる面白おかしな文化(?)が気になって、終始楽しめました。 お気に入りは[spoiler]挨拶(義務)[/spoiler]と[spoiler]空手演武[/spoiler]です。 難点はパフォーマンス。解像度1920×1080にグラフィックス設定を全て最低に落としても、Steam Machineでは60FPSも出ない場面がしばしば見受けられました。
I died many times but it was worth it. This is a great game! It took me about 11.6 hours to reach the end and I was disappointed when it was over cause the fun was gone. But I'll just play it again. Great game!

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

一开始很好玩,被demo的忍者特工设定吸引的,但实际上和demo的设定毫不搭边。其中有几关我都怀疑是制作组故意恶心人的,尤其是差不多结尾的飞船城市那里,判定吸附经常出错,前后夹击。最后玩到the end的时候如释重负,想着终于结束了
Très chouette jeu de plateforme/infiltration, beaucoup d'humour et de moments bien pensés. Le gameplay est renouvelé régulièrement par de nouvelles mécaniques/environnements, on ne voit pas le temps passer.
great platform game the story is fine the world is beautiful music is engaging and fit the vibe the chasing sections are great tiny time u have and a lot of challenge in it
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 :)
good
Darwin's Paradox! es como estar viendo una película de Pixar, no solo por su impecable dirección artística, sino también por la forma en que utiliza los planos y la cámara para dar vida a cada escena. La original propuesta de ponerte en la piel de un pulpo convierten la aventura en una experiencia única. Además, es extremadamente divertido, desafiante y mantiene el interés de principio a fin. Totalmente recomendable.
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!
A neat little octopus adventure.
