Overview

Catch the Octopus is a chaotic online multiplayer hide-and-seek game where up to 24 players split into two teams: Octopuses and Seekers. Developed and published by MinE Games, this casual party title launched on Steam on October 16, 2026.

The core loop is simple yet endlessly entertaining—Octopuses must blend into their environment by transforming into everyday objects, while Seekers try to spot the impostors among the scenery.

Highlights

  • Massive multiplayer chaos: Supports 2 to 24 players in a single match, making it perfect for large friend groups or online lobbies.
  • Shape-shifting stealth: Octopuses can morph into various objects to fool Seekers, adding a layer of strategy and deception.
  • Party-friendly design: With genres like Casual, Party Game, and Funny, the game is built for lighthearted, social play sessions.

Who It's For

If you enjoy party games like Among Us or Prop Hunt, Catch the Octopus will feel right at home. It's ideal for groups of friends looking for a quick, laugh-filled distraction, or for solo players who want to jump into chaotic online matches.

The cute art style and accessible mechanics also make it a great choice for casual gamers and families.
