Octopinbs

Octopinbs is a social deduction action game for 3–10 players. Firefighters, called Octopuses, work together to put out fires, while infiltrators called artists, or Squid, try to burn the stage down or incapacitate the firefighters. Matches unfold on stages with spreading fires and collapsing floors, where players must watch for suspicious behavior and decide whom to trust.

Firefighters and artists

Firefighters win by reducing the stage incineration meter to 0% or incapacitating all artists by putting them in Octojars. They can extinguish fires while checking adjacent rooms in every direction for suspicious activity. Artists win by filling the meter to 100% or incapacitating all firefighters in Octojars. They can pretend to put out fires while secretly starting more.

If an artist is exposed, they can reveal their true form. Their location becomes known to the firefighters, but they gain new abilities, increased mobility and more HP. This can give them a chance to turn the match around.

Octojars and recovery

When fire or another player’s damage reduces your HP to 0, your equipment breaks and you become a powerless, helmeted character. You can run to the fire truck to get a new body and return to the match. Being put in an Octojar ends your participation, though you can still watch the match from other players’ perspectives.

Putting a suspicious player in an Octojar reveals their identity. If the helmeted player is an artist, the firefighters win; if they are an innocent firefighter, the firefighters lose a teammate and the artists gain an advantage.

Practice and customization

You can practise different actions and view tutorials to learn the basics. Emotes and stamps let players communicate in the lobby before and after matches. Custom settings let you adjust the basic rules or fine-tune matches for high-level play.
