Players will tap into their octopus instincts to sneak through hostile territories patrolled by the very human—and definitely not alien—UFOOD INC. Using Darwin’s sucker-lined arms to maneuver past foes, players must use the mastery of the mollusk to deceive and distract with camouflage and carefully timed ink shots, utilizing the environment to gain the advantage. With these high-powered stealth skills, Darwin becomes the ultimate infiltrator of the animal kingdom… well, aside from snakes, of course.
Every stage of the game offers new paths to explore, each transforming while players complete puzzles and obstacle courses – from landfills rife with packs of rabid rats, to menacing mechanical underbellies of a food factory by the sea. Darwin’s Paradox! delivers high-quality visuals and a colorful cast of characters as players dive deeper into the game’s rich story.
