Night of the Cephalopods

Night of the Cephalopods doesn't feature any innovations in gameplay. It is, however, the only game I'm aware of that will narrate the action on-screen in an overwrought, Lovecraftian style that responds to the player's action.
This post was deleted for the following reason: Peering into the darkness, he saw at last a glimmer of movement. Up from the depths a shadow crept, darkness in flesh, writhing toward him with unspeakable movements. His mind, assualted thus, was rent and split, his wonder and terror doubling, trebling, diffusing into madness. -- cortex
I think you mean "He felt the clammy hands of a gibbering horror spiderwalk up his spine as he realized this was, in fact, an ancience and eldrich post."

Son of a bitch, I searched for "cephalopods" and got nothing at all. Ah, well.

If it makes you feel better, I was about to flag it as Windows-only.

Right, Lunix. I use Commie Distro which isn't dying but smells that way.

I don't even know what Linux or Lunix means, I'm just trying to sound cool.

I'm assuming the mods are hung over. In Vegas. Matt's been kidnapped, cortex has a stranger's baby and Jes pulled out one of her own teeth.
