Tentaphage is an adventure 3D platformer with horror elements. You play as the Tentaphage, an anomalous eldritch creature. Swing, grapple, slingshot and possess humans to save your mother and devour humans!
Tentaphages are agile creatures. They can stick to various surfaces and use their tentacles to launch themselves great distances.

Tentaphages can seize control of others, forcing them to carry out their will. But crewmates don’t take kindly to seeing a parasite latched onto a friend’s back—expect them to open fire the moment they spot you.

Change to your favorite color any time. Want more variety? Unlock 13 different custom themed Tentaphages through the Steam Achievement system.

Across the known universe, a mysterious species of Tentaphages have begun to appear—and their colossal Mother is slowly falling apart.
A crew discovers a strange shard of an interdimensional goddess over halfway through their 60 year wavering voyage to recover Epsilon Material (EpsMat), a volatile substance rumored to warp space-time itself. The crew finds their ship is being invaded by these unknown creatures.
Piece together the truth through scattered notes, cryptic dialogue, and the dangerous encounters that await you in the void.
