Identical Tentacles Games
Play the games and prototypes we've been working on.
Virtual Pet Site Game Alpha
"Virtual Pet Site Game" is a game about raising smelly virtual pets but you don't quite know what they need to survive.
Or it would be about that, but the game is in alpha and none of those features exist. Expect bugs, expect crashes, but try to have fun.

Prototypes
Here's all of the prototypes that were developed as part of making the final game. Some prototypes are mixed and matched into the full game, others are scrapped entirely. They are not gauranteed to work or to be developed any further.

Field Book Prototype
This prototype explores game mechanics related to taking care of a pet and recording what you learn about it in your field book.
