Our take on Tentacular
Instead of placing a small character in an ordinary world, the game makes the player inhabit a giant tentacled creature. Oversized physics replace conventional object handling, making the same body useful for puzzles, construction, and destruction.
What is Tentacular?
Play as a giant, good-hearted tentacled creature raised by the residents of La Kalma, a remote island colony.
This VR adventure centers on more than 60 physics-based puzzles, using playful tools to build unusual contraptions and spectacular structures. The creature’s large body can also cause havoc. A story lasting over 10 hours follows the character’s search for its origins and place in the world. The free Island Builder Expansion lets Tentacular owners build an ultimate island. The game combines puzzle solving, construction, destruction, and humor within an immersive VR setting.

The Final Specimen: Arrival
Shattered Dreams: that one time when all my applications got rejected, so I started my own company. My life became an idle / clicker game where I must increase all incremental values and squeeze my employees for every last bit of soul they have left.
