Kaf has been experiencing bizarre dreams about a world populated by twisted creatures.

Planned Features
  • An authentic Octopus City simulation offering nothing but the most lovely tentacles ever conceived; wonderful pixel art and animations bring the city to life with the help of a diverse soundtrack.
  • Learn more about the city's dark history and its corrupt inhabitants in a non-linear main story.
  • Strange dreams to explore, each with its unique story and presentation.
  • Exciting things are always happening in Octopus City. Each NPC has his or her personality, relationships, and daily schedule.
  • More tentacles than the competition. You won't be disappointed like that one game that had the word Tentacle in its title but featured only two of them.
  • Learn exciting abilities such as: performing a spin dash, cutting dead tentacles, interpretive dancing, and dumpster diving.
  • An open world experience offering a lot of flexibility in the order of attempting the main story quests. There are several ways to complete each quest and your choices have mysterious effects. 
  • A dialogue system built around acquiring knowledge and managing stress.
  • Absolutely DRM-free. You will be able to change Kaf's sprite into Sora from Kingdom Hearts or replace the OST with your favorite Hall & Oats album.
