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!
Main Gameplay Features:

Between humor, emotion, and suspense, Darwin takes you on a memorable odyssey.

Ce jeu est ABSOLUMENT génial ! J'ai adoré l'ambiance graphique Cartoon rigolote. C'est un très très bon jeu de plateforme. Et je ne dis pas ça souvent ! Bravo les créateurs de cette merveille. Je ne regrette pas du tout mon achat !
Perfection
Esta bien hecho, situaciones muy diferentes, buenas animaciones... todo bien, pero a mi me ha aburrido. No he conectado nada con él. Y no porque tenga fallos como hacerte el tutorial dos veces por algún motivo, o lo lento que te mueves, o el sonido tan desagradable al andar. Simplemente, no me ha entrado. Y no se porqué, porque está bien. No es la ostia, pero lo tiene todo para ser entretenido. Le doy positivo, pero lo mismo te aburres como yo.

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 2,419 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.

好玩，就是太短了，希望后面的制作长一点
Short, but funny and adorable. Cartoon hijinks x platformer.
Dobre jak paprykarz szczeciński <3
Really enjoying this one. The gameplay is fun, it looks great, has solid animations, and it keeps introducing new mechanics almost every chapter. Sound design is solid and the puzzles are creative. The only real complaints are the lack of ultrawide support, though you can fix that with a Nexus mod and ReShade. Also, the fact it runs like doggy doodoo on the Steam Deck, which is ridiculous for a game of this type. 9/10

fun games . gorgeous environment ,
It's a load of fun. Very creative levels. Pushes the fan hard on the Steam Deck but it runs well, Well worth the price.
