Play This Now: Night of the Cephalopods

And now to round out this flurry of pre-Turkey Day updates, because I simply can't be bothered to take the time to update while I'm at home, is finally a new Play This Now. Night of the Cephalopods is a fairly straightforward top-down shooter with a Lovecraftian theme, but has an interesting auditory twist: Many of your characters actions are accompanied by a voice-over narration. It's an interesting experiment that is still early in its development, as there's only about half a dozen screens to explore and can be finished in just a few minutes. But it's worth taking a look at just to see a new, unique mechanic at work, and following as the author promises to continue his work on the game.
