Shop of Tentacles

About

Shop of Tentacles puts you in control of a one-eyed boy and a dirt doll working for a mysterious shopkeeper. You spend your time farming strange creatures that sprout from a nearby lake to fill out a picture book. The loop involves harvesting or multiplying these tentacles and handing them over to the owner. Doing so earns you alcohol and fragments of stories set in a dark, gothic world inspired by Asian aesthetics. It is a single-player point-and-click adventure built specifically for mobile devices on Android and iOS. The game stands out because it turns monster farming into a narrative puzzle rather than a combat simulation. You piece together the whereabouts of ten escaped sinners while managing your strange livestock. The art style leans heavily into weird fantasy elements with dolls made of earth and creepy creatures growing from water. Community ratings suggest players enjoy the quirky tone and the way the story unfolds slowly through each completed page. It feels less like a typical simulator and more like an interactive mystery book where the creatures themselves hold the clues you need to uncover.

Storyline

One day, I woke up to a doll made of dirt. When he opened the door of the cellar, ten sinners escaped from inside. In order to know their whereabouts, we needed the strange creatures growing out of the lake. At the behest of the shopkeeper, a doll and a one-eyed boy decide to raise a strange creature, a tentacle.
