About the game
THE LAST CITY IS ALIVE
Octopus Goulash is a cyberpunk open-world RPG and life simulation set in HUB 38—a vertical organism of concrete, silicon and fading memories rising above a dying Earth.
Humanity is abandoning physical reality for vast datacenters. You wake inside a Body Avatar with no registered identity, one organic brain and a voice calling from somewhere deep in the system.
Build a life. Learn how the city works. Decide how far you are willing to look.
LIVE AMONG PEOPLE WHO REMEMBER YOU
Every citizen is procedurally generated with a personality, job and relationships, then follows a daily life between work, home and entertainment. Talk about the subjects you discover, trade, offer gifts, help, insult or threaten them. They remember—and their response can open opportunities or close them.
SURVIVE THE CITY, NOT JUST THE STORY
Drive a flying car across districts without roads. Manage fuel, repairs and upgrades. Feed, recharge and maintain your mechanized body. Find somewhere to sleep. Your needs, debts, crimes and choices keep moving even when the main mystery does not.
MAKE A LIVING—OR FIND ANOTHER WAY
Work as a taxi driver or Fixer, debug corrupted data flows, trade, hack, race, gamble, run illegal errands—or beg when your Credits run dry. Money determines your ECO class, and ECO class determines which parts of HUB 38 consider you worth admitting.
KNOWLEDGE IS A TOOL
Conversations are not just dialogue trees. Places, documents and people teach you topics that become available in future conversations. A piece of information can reveal a location, unlock a quest, change a relationship or become the key to a door. In Octopus Goulash, understanding the world is progression.
FIND THE STORY YOURSELF
The main mystery is buried inside ordinary life. Follow a voice that should not know you. Investigate corporations, insurgents, cults and artificial minds. Infiltrate forbidden places, recover impossible keys and choose whom to trust. Guidance exists if you need it—but the final path belongs to those who pay attention.

A SOLO-DEVELOPED EXPERIMENT

The city is alive. It is not waiting for you. But something inside it is.
