“When it comes to selecting a different type of thing to play as rather than a human, many developers jump to something human adjacent or anthropomorphize an animal to fit the role. Very few actually take the step to not only select something completely out of the norm but also play it almost completely straight at the same time and while an octopus has been chosen as a protagonist before, this time around with ZDT Studio and Konami looking to deliver a more cartoonish approach to puzzle platforming, we have an octopod that just wants to get back home to the ocean, even if it means bumbling along a world-threatening catastrophe in the making while they do so in Darwin’s Paradox!.”
