Tentacles: Enter the Mind isn’t just a metaphor, it’s also Press Play’s newest game

Developer Press Play has an all new tentacle-laden adventure waiting for gamers- in their minds… well, not their minds, but you get the picture.

Following up on the success of the first Tentacles and last year’s excellent platformer Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, Tentacles: Enter the Mind is “new take on the Tentacles universe and mechanic” and takes place in the dark recesses of Phluff’s head. Players can slink from the Super-Ego to the Libido, all the while snagging cute little creatures and… eating their eyes. Yep.

Literally enter the mind of Professor Phluff, a mad scientist with a dolphin head who’s obsessed with making the world a cuter place. But everything has gone horribly wrong. Dr. Phluff’s mind has become infested by the cute creations he so dearly adores and they’re making him even crazier than he was before. Luckily, his subconscious has a plan and will help you on your journey. Navigate as Lemmy, a rubbery tentacled monster, and clean out each layer of Dr. Phluff’s troubled psychosis. Use the intuitive, controls to avoid tricky projectiles and surface hazards, while snacking on eyeballs along the way. From paranoia to hysteria – the goal is simple – clean out each layer of Professor’s Phluff’s mind and survive for as long as possible.

“Tentacles is first and foremost about playful, challenging mechanics that are both entertaining and engaging. It takes place in a twisted, surreal universe where there are no limits to Professor Phluff’s fantasies,” said Creative Director, Ole Teglbjærg. “And I guess this game speaks to a very broad audience…who doesn’t like mad scientists and tentacles?”

Who indeed? Tentacles: Enter the Mind is scheduled for release early this Summer for Windows 8 and RT devices.
