Tentacles Gallery is a puzzle-horror game set in a surreal and shifting art museum filled with sentient tentacles, cryptic paintings, and unsettling exhibits. Players are tasked with uncovering the secrets of each room while avoiding the gaze—and grasp—of the living gallery. It’s a game of careful observation, timing, and narrative discovery through eerie environmental design.
A Gallery That Reacts to You
Each exhibit in Tentacles Gallery is more than decorative—it responds to your movement, choices, and time spent in its vicinity. Tentacles may remain dormant until provoked, or may slowly creep toward you if you linger too long. Key mechanics include:
- Timed observation puzzles where players must look at paintings in a precise order.
- Motion-sensitive corridors that trigger events if crossed incorrectly.
- Shadow stalking entities that mimic your path and must be outmaneuvered.
Cryptic Clues and Dangerous Art
Progress in the game depends on interpreting the art. Every room holds visual riddles—some literal, others metaphorical. What appears decorative might hide a pressure plate or a vital clue. Core features include:
- Paintings that change when viewed from different angles.
- Sculptures that emit audio puzzles when activated.
- Rooms that rearrange themselves after completing certain tasks or failing them.
Encounters with the Unseen
The titular tentacles are not constant threats—they emerge based on player behavior. Instead of always chasing, they behave like sentinels or censors of the gallery. Encounters vary:
- Grab events that teleport you to distorted exhibit zones.
- Timed escapes from tightening tendrils while solving a code.
- Hallucinatory sequences triggered by touching corrupted objects.
Tentacles Gallery turns every hallway into a potential trap and every artwork into a mystery. It rewards players who explore methodically, interpret clues accurately, and act with precision under pressure. Blending psychological horror with visual puzzles, the game crafts an atmosphere of dread wrapped in beauty—and never lets you forget you’re being watched.
