About the Game

The tank is boring. Everything outside the tank looks fascinating. The decision makes itself.

The Blue Current Research Centre turns out to be an interesting place. Full of corridors to squeeze through, rooms to investigate, and no shortage of objects with completely unclear purposes. Things that hum, blink, and spin. Things that probably shouldn't be touched.

She will touch them anyway.

A hands-on adventure - all eight of them - about one small escape and the long way home.

Features:

  • Explore an underwater research station as a curious octopus

  • Pick up, carry, and interact with objects using all 8 arms - independently

  • No inventory, no UI clutter - just hands (a lot of them)

  • Uncover why she's here, and find your way back to the ocean

  • Short, cozy, and self-contained
