You play a religious studies researcher at a government agency, asked to reopen the investigation into the deaths of 227 members of the Church of the Nine-Tentacled Octopus. A year after the case was closed, the victims’ families argue that investigators reached the wrong conclusion.
Investigate the church’s public website, its members-only community, and case records. Enter words you find or suspect to uncover more posts and documents, then compare the details and piece together the people and events connected to the case.
As your investigation advances, fill in reports with what you have learned and communicate with others through in-game messages. The case moves across several sources of information, with choices leading to different endings.
Many reviewers enjoyed actively searching for clues and feeling that their own keywords led to discoveries, especially while exploring the detailed, often humorous community posts. The retro desktop presentation and the unfolding mystery also stood out. Some found the investigation easy to follow, while others wanted more hints or felt later searches became less engaging; opinions also differed on the story’s conclusion and its handling of sensitive themes.
All 227 people affiliated with the Church of the Nine-Tentacled Octopus drowned during one of its religious rituals. A year after the case was closed, the victims’ families insist the investigation reached the wrong conclusion—and demand that the case be reopened.
As a religious studies researcher at a government agency, reexamine the Church’s doctrines and rituals, along with the records left by those connected to the case.
Explore a website filled with octopus masks, bizarre commandments, and ridiculous events—and uncover a members-only community hidden within it.
Even throwaway jokes and petty complaints may contain clues. Piece together scattered posts and records to identify the key figures at the heart of the case.
Important clues are not highlighted in this game. Search for any unfamiliar or suspicious word you come across—or even the takoyaki you had as a snack earlier!
A single search term can reveal a new post—and bring you one step closer to the truth.
