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!

Great game, really fun. Shorter than I expected though, completed it in 3 days. Ran well, In my longest session I notice a lot of edge screen flickering.
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.

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.

Sehr liebevoll gemachtes, schönes Game !
It was a fun game to play.
Si hubiera una opción media, sería la que yo elegiría, sin embargo elijo "si" por las siguientes razones: La ambientación, diseño de personajes, colorimetría, diseño, música, efectos de sonido, todo el arte es pura perfección y aquí si se llevarían un 1000/10. Literalmente parecía que estaba viendo una película de Pixar. El render y la calidad brutal, impecable y creo que eso es lo que me llamó la atención del juego... SIN EMBARGO siento que me quedó a deber en cuanto a jugabilidad. El juego parecía bastante retador, para jugadores que les gustan los juegos de plataforma/puzzle con cierto nivel de dificultad sin exagerar pero no me acaba de convencer, Empezando por el inicio, cuando se debe de calibrar el brillo de pantalla, había elegido la recomendada por el propio juego y fue realmente frustrante y mala experiencia de inicio. No entendí el objetivo de tener el juego TAN oscuro. El primer puzzle con los botes en el agua me pareció MUY MOLESTO porque no veía nada. Volví a crear una partida nueva con el brillo normal para poder tener una visión mucho mejor de los logros. Me frustra mucho que no haya intuición en la continuidad, es decir, soy de los que al principio busca juntar los logros pero me fue muy difícil porque no hay algo que te diga hacia dónde sigue el juego y hacia dónde hay un logro escondido, tener que volver a pasar hasta 2 veces por el mismo camino a ver si hay algo... eso es realmente cansado. No hay un atisbo de la correcta continuidad del juego. La historia un poco sin objetivo real. Al principio creí que el objetivo era salvar a tu amigo pero no había señal de ello. No lo sé... lleno de vicisitudes, no sé si es memorable o digno de mencionar como juego, porque como arte es MAGNÍFICO pero lo demás parecía sin consistencia y precisamente por ello elijo el si. Por el gran trabajo visual y auditivo que se debe mencionar y premiar. Mi parte favorita: Cuando vas hacia la izquierda y con letreros te dicen que hacia allá es peligroso pero tú sigues, más letreros y más letreros aunque el final del piano me dejó como... what?, no entendí eso realmente pero me gustó la parte de la advertencia.
吸盤に助けられる時と邪魔な時がある 実際、蛸もそうなのかもしれない セーブポイントが親切なので心は折れない エンディングも含めて好きな世界観だった
Not too long, great puzzles, no repeating on itself, no having to double back on yourself. The graphics are great for the theme, the level design is excellent and the sound design is on point. Performance is great and I experienced zero issues. Overall a huge recommend.
sympa, drole mais un peu court ! ça reste un trés bon jeu de plate-forme, action, réflexion ! La physique est au top !
Jugabilidad, divertido y puzzles y buen plataformeo. Paciencia
Lustig und spaßig. Aber die ein oder andere Stelle, wo man unnötig lange festhängt, aufgrund der Schwierigkeit. Und die Helligkeitsempfehlungen sind wohl für, Leute, welche Ihren standardmäßig Bildschirm auf volle Helligkeit eingestellt haben. :D
