Press release:
The US-based indie games publisher Devolver Digital and the Germany-based indie games developer Firepunchd Games UG, today announced with great delight and excitement that their tentacle-themed VR action/adventure “Tentacular” is coming to PC (Quest & Steam VR) this Spring (2022).

Ever felt like a squid out of water? Tentacular plunges you into the ocean-dwelling hulk of a gigantic, kind-hearted tentacled beast trying to figure out its place in the world. Coming to Quest & Steam VR in 2022, Tentacular was created by Firepunchd, supposedly without the help of giant tentacles but we’re not convinced.

Raised among humans on the bustling and eccentric island of La Kalma, Tentacular tasks players with helping their human friends to research a strange and powerful energy source through action-based activities and construction puzzles, using nothing but their unwieldy appendages.

Tame your titanic tentacles to aid your epic quest, and unlock elements for your very own playground in the bonus creative sandbox mode!

Visit tentacular.com and get your suckers ready.

Key features:
– Tactile Tentacles! Get a grip on things with fully physics-based tentacles complete with Octo-grade suckers.
– Titanic Tasks! Apply lateral thinking and giant limbs to 50+ puzzle and action levels, building huge structures and contraptions.
– Colossal Constructions! Cultivate your creative side in a constantly expanding construction sandbox.

About Devolver Digital:
Devolver Digital, Inc. is an American video game publisher based in Austin, Texas, specializing in the publishing of indie games. The company was founded in June 2009 by Nigel Lowrie, Harry Miller, Graeme Struthers, Rick Stults, and Mike Wilson, five executives who had been involved with Gathering of Developers and Gamecock Media Group, which published games on developer-friendly terms, but due to the high cost associated with releasing retail games saw themselves acquired and dissolved by larger companies. To avoid this, Devolver Digital instead turned to digital distribution channels.
