About this game

Caren and the Tangled Tentacles" is a classical point & click adventure in the style of Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. You take over the role of Caren, a young woman who works as chemist in the neighbouring institute. On a usual working day she makes a disturbing discovery there. So she starts to uncover the background of the heinous events with investigative work. The aim of the game is to reconstruct the events as far as possible and finally uncover a baleful secret in the deep.
