The plot follows Bernard Bernoulli and his friends Hoagie and Laverne as they attempt to stop the evil Purple Tentacle – a sentient, disembodied tentacle – from taking over the world. The player takes control of the trio and solves puzzles while using time travel to explore different periods of history.

Dr. Fred’s mutated purple tentacle is out to take over the world. And only you can stop him. Travel through time with three outrageous characters in this wacky graphic adventure which features cartoon-style animation and over 100 zany sound effects.
