What are those blue tentacles | Microbial Sector (Ending 1)


Such a great game!! This video is just ending 1 but I have another video going up where I got all the endings. I enjoyed the variety in each ending and the gameplay was super fun!!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and i'm looking forward to see you get all the endings :)

The endings were so good the video of the rest of the endings will be up tomorrow so keep an eye out!!

I really liked this game for its cool graphics and the unique horror element at the end, which made the overall experience really fun. I’d give it a 7.5/10.

Thank you! glad you liked it :)

I loved this game! Short and sweet.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it

Nice work! This was a fun, creepy little game; nice mix of tension and worldbuilding, definitely would love to see more! Never managed to find the sixth ending so I'll have to revisit it sometime.
Keep up the great work!

Thank you! Hopefully you can figure out the last ending at another point hehe

really unique game!! and a lot of fun too :D

Fantastic little game! Really reminds me of most of Mike Klubnika's games (that aren't Buckshot Roulette), and that's a huge compliment. Really like the core gameplay loop as well. If you expanded this into a full game, I'd absolutely pay for it.

Absolutely stumped on how to get any other endings though. Everybody posting videos got the same one I did, and I can't find anything to do differently between attempts.

Update: I got the escaped ending as well as the squid ending, but beyond that I can't think of anything to do that could be done differently.

Thank you! Yes Mike Klubnika and David Szymanski was defenetly what inspired this hehe. Glad you liked it

Great game. Love the visuals and gameplay. 

Thank you! glad you liked it ! Nice gameplay vid :)

Wow an interesting little game :-) I love the soundscape and the claustrophobic and nerdy atmosphere in the laboratory. Looking forward to more from this game designer!

Very interesting horror game. Love the gameplay.

Thank you!  Nice gameplay vid :)

Very unique horror game! I will try to get all the endings

You jumped scared me so bad! Amazing! Thank you!

The idea of working in a chemical laboratory is nice, but the game is too short! As soon as you start to get the hang of it and have fun, the end arrives! I ask the developers to continue this project because they could create a great game! You can find the gameplay on my channel, Warning: spoilers!!

Perfect horror game for studying of parasites in basic biology course

This was an awesome game my dude! Very fun to figure out the science machines and matching the organisms. Great atmosphere and sound effects. It was unique and super solid mechanically! I definitely got one of the bad endings but it was hilarious, the blue tiny squid got me! Really great little experience I recommend completely! Here is my gameplay video, sub and help my channel grow everyone :)

Thank you! glad you liked it ! Nice gameplay vid :)

Muchas gracias por compartir esta maravilla de juego, me ha encantado, es sorprendente la imaginación que tienes para lograr desarrollar 6 finales diferentes,  desde luego el juego es buenísimo, has hecho un gran trabajo, lastima que he conseguido solamente 5 de los 6 finales, me ha faltado el último que aunque me he tirado un rato no he conseguido encontrarlo, has hecho un gran trabajo por eso te doy 5 estrellas, saludos!!!

So awesome! Really love these task type horror games that end up being so terrifying! Amazing job!

Thank you! glad you liked it :)

Wow! This is so cool!

Thank you! glad you liked it :)
