Overview

In Tentacult!, you step into the role of a lonely Lord Cthulhu who dispatches a single Tentacute to Pleasantville with a singular goal: make friends. These 'friends' are then to be sacrificed to open a portal back to R'lyeh. The gameplay blends the frantic action of Hotline Miami with the strategic unit management of Pikmin. You'll convert the local 'Bonies' into cute, cephalopod-like minions who, unfortunately, mimic your every move. Success hinges on your ability to strategically manipulate these dim-witted followers to overcome environmental challenges and guide them back to the portal.
