Description

A dark metropolis atop a dying octopus, a cowardly tentacle trimmer dreaming of dung beetles, and a surreal adventure about everything and nothing.

History

Octopus City Blues is a story-driven graphical adventure. It tells the story of Kaf Kafkaryan, a tentacle trimmer living in a city built on an octopus. Plagued by recurring nightmares, Kaf uncovers dark secrets as the line between dream and reality begins to blur.

With a detailed pixel art aesthetic and an original concept, Octopus City Blues blends various genres—placing emphasis on exploration, real-time daily simulation, and stressful encounters that encourage multiple playthroughs.

Originally crowd-funded on Kickstarter in 2013, the project received additional funding from the Midgame Fund in 2021. Octopus City Blues is scheduled for release on Windows, MacOS and Linux in 2024.
