The authentic Octopus City simulation for Windows, OS X and Linux. A surreal adventure game about everything and nothing.
PayPal: Link
Intro
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.
Stretch goals:
Kickstarter/Paypal

I stumbled across this while browsing the games section a few days ago. The art style hooked me immediately, the low res and limited palette harkening back to the VGA era of adventure gaming (*ahem* Day of the Tentacle, anyone?). The pixel work is really well done, and the game itself oozes with its own dark sarcastic charm. Additionally the promise of a non-linear narrative with a ton of side missions and distractions sounds like a ton of fun to explore, making backing an instant no-brainer for me.
The project is already well past its funding goal and on track to reach just about every stretch goal that can be conceived, but I figured there would be plenty on GAF who wouldn't wanna miss out on giving a promising game like this the recognition it deserves regardless of funding.
