You are the ocean’s genius – eight arms, nine brains, three hearts, and only three years to prove you’re the smartest thing in the sea.
You’re a master of disguise and deception, capable of becoming invisible in seconds by perfectly mimicking coral, rocks, or seaweed.
Your distributed intelligence allows each arm to taste, feel, and think independently while your central brain orchestrates survival strategies that would humble most vertebrates.
But time is your enemy. While sharks and whales have decades to perfect their craft, you have mere seasons to learn everything: which faces spell danger, how to crack the toughest shells, where to hide when the moon reveals your shadow. Every decision carries weight when your entire lifespan could fit into a human’s college experience.
Navigate the razor-thin margin between brilliant opportunism and fatal overconfidence. Use tools, solve puzzles, remember enemies, and outsmart predators with brains they can’t even imagine. In a world where being soft-bodied makes you prey, intelligence is your only armor.
You’re the ocean’s brief, brilliant flame. Can you burn bright enough to matter before time runs out?
The reef awaits your genius.
