Lord Cthulhu dispatches a lone Tentacute to befriend Pleasantville's residents and convert them into cephalopods for a sacrificial return to R'lyeh. Players guide a swarm of dim-witted followers that mimic every action in a Hotline Miami meets Pikmin style. Manipulate the group against the environment through strategic moves to reach the portal.
Core actions include moving the swarm with WASD or sticks, clumping them together via Space or A, feeding to convert neighbors, forming shapes, and exploring to sacrifice at the altar. This indie casual adventure demands QWOP-like precision in swarm control. Fans of quirky strategy and mimicry mechanics will enjoy herding moronic allies home.
Looking out on Pleasantville one afternoon, Lord Cthulhu realized he was very lonely. He decides to send a single Tentacute to go make new friends with these "Bonies." After enough friends have been made, the portal to R'lyeh opens &each friend will be sacrificed. In a style that is a cross between "Hotline Miami" and "Pikmin", convert your friends into fellow cute cephalopods! The problem? All of your newly converted friends are frickin' morons that mimic your every move! Luckily with strategic planning you can manipulate them against the environment to get back to the portal home to keep Lord Cthulhu company.
