About
Embark on a grand adventure worthy of a true animated movie with Darwin, an octopus as charming as he is clever, ripped from the ocean and trapped in a massive and mysterious industrial complex. With his extraordinary intelligence and incredible abilities – swimming, camouflage, and many other fascinating skills – help him overcome the most formidable traps and dangers in this captivating platformer, adventure, and puzzle game.
In the peaceful vastness of the ocean, Darwin, a young octopus, explores the deep sea… until a strange beam of light pierces the abyss and pulls him toward the surface. Thrust out of his aquatic world, he wakes up disoriented in the middle of a gigantic junkyard, backed by a foreboding factory.
But something is wrong. Between the threatening machines, strange holding tanks, and the mysterious and dangerous creatures and characters that inhabit the place, Darwin realizes he is in danger. To return to the ocean, Darwin will have to outsmart, evolve, and reveal to the players through his journey the mysteries of a conspiracy that goes beyond anything one could have imagined… and which could very well seal the fate of humanity!

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The game is fine if you like these games After playing it I now remember why I don't play these frustrating platform games and why I hate the kiddie console controllers so much. I'm an older old school PC player and the high jumping is a real pain for me and I just get frustrated and quit and have now just completely quit this thing.
игра топ 7.5/10 но мне просто напросто не выдается ♥♥♥♥♥♥ последняя блядская уебищная очивка ради которой я всрал почти час игры ♥♥♥♥ маму очивмейра а так игра норм
Il y a déjà eu pas mal de commentaires donc je vais essayer de faire quelque chose d'utile pour ceux qui hésitent à acheter ce jeu. Ce que ce jeu est : - essentiellement un platformer avec quelques énigmes, - un jeu franchement très facile, terminable en 5-6h - un très beau jeu dans un style un peu cartoon (style Pixar), une réussite graphique - un jeu avec des mécaniques amusantes, jamais prise de tête, avec beaucoup de points de sauvegarde automatique, donc jamais punitif - un jeu avec une histoire sympathique Ce que ce jeu n'est pas : - un jeu avec des combats (on esquive tout) - un jeu exigeant (il est adapté à des enfants sans souci) - un jeu avec un gameplay complexe - un jeu avec un lore développé (l'histoire est simple mais bon, il y a peu d'explications, même si finalement on s'en fiche un peu en jouant) - un jeu mémorable Il reste une expérience sympathique, une sorte de one-shot à faire si on peut l'avoir en promo (je l'ai eu à 10 euros, c'est honnête à ce prix-là). Je le recommande donc, mais en ayant bien conscience de tous les points soulignés ci-dessus.
Très belle DA, un moyen de déplacement dépaysant et bien fun, j'ai passé un très bon moment sans prise de tête avec ce jeu, parfaît pour se poser dans le canap et jouer sans pression.
Génial. Enfin un jeux fun et drôle à l'ancienne. La DA est top c'est plein de clins d'œil, pleins d'humour. Un gameplay aux petits oignons. Surement mon GOTY 2026
El juego es divertido, pero a veces los niveles son dificiles, pero lo recomiendo igual, si te gustan los desafios PD: No es como little nightmares
Eu recomendo o jogo, pois é divertido, não um Ori da vida, mas é legal, porém eu achei muito curto, deu a entender que eles querem fazer o 2 no espaço e tal, mas beleza. Obs: O jogo é pesado pelo que aparenta, tive que usar dlss equilibrado para ter um jogo fluido. Joguei em 3440x1440p.
