Night of the Cephalopods! - Spooky Squid Games (2008)

/* this indy game looks great + im xcited to play it. the documentation video below made by the developers of the game details the unique waze in which audio/dynamic voice over is used in this game:

also, in this game health is a measurement of a madness to sanity ratio while madness is also a form of enlightenment in the Lovecraftian Cthulhu Mythos. in the video above there is a moment when this concept is annotated/explained:


"The face shows how mad the player has been driven."

i love this concept. b/c madness is enlightenment in the Lovecraftian Cthulhu Mythos + the complete abject destruction of the world is an inevietability, i am wondering about the waze in which success or winning is constructed in this game... i will have to download, startup windoze + play thru it... */
