Gone Exploring

The release date for Gone Exploring is July 19, 2026, on PC. Developed and published by BCRC, this 3D point-and-click adventure casts you as an octopus navigating a restrictive research facility in search of the open ocean.

The central hook is a physics-based movement system where you control all eight limbs independently. Without a traditional inventory or HUD, interaction relies entirely on your ability to physically manipulate objects, squeeze through tight corridors, and tinker with the station's machinery. It is a focused, self-contained experience that emphasizes the tactile curiosity of an cephalopod rather than complex puzzle-solving or combat. This is a great pick for those looking for a short, high-concept escape story with a unique control scheme. Wishlist this if you want a cozy, experimental platformer that swaps standard character movement for many-limbed exploration.
