In an alternate reality cold war, a series of top-secret bioengineering experiments were conducted by the U.S. and U.S.S.R. which turned the frontier of combat into a battle for sub-nautical domination using genetically modified sea creatures. Gloctopus follows the story of a genetically modified octopus tasked with saving the world from mutually assured nuclear destruction. 

You play as an octopus that has been given super-cephalopodic intelligence, strength, and the ability to communicate with other sea creatures. You have also been given 8 U.S. government issued , one for each tentacle.

Your mission objective is cryptic, but simple in nature. Dive deep into the Pacific Ocean until you reach the ocean floor, where you are told that there is a nuclear-capable Soviet operative making its way towards America as we speak. You must reach the ocean floor and stop the Soviets in their tracks at all costs.

Through progressive exploration, you will encounter various types of enemies, upgrades, and new guns. Each time you enter into the depths, you will notice slight differences in gameplay that keep you coming back for more.
