Evaluation

Kraken Academy!! launched on September 10, 2021 as a complete, self-contained adventure game. Following launch, the developer issued a couple of polish and bug-fix patches through November 2021, with the most substantial being v1.0.12 on November 4, 2021, which expanded the HUD, improved localisation, and fixed several gameplay issues. No additional story content or DLC beyond the soundtrack (which released alongside the game) was ever announced or released. By July 2022, the developer's communications confirmed they had moved on to a new project. In December 2023, Happy Broccoli Games announced their next title, Duck Detective: The Secret Salami, which launched on May 23, 2024. The studio's focus has fully shifted to new projects, and there have been no announcements of any additional content for Kraken Academy!! at any point. The game shipped as a finished narrative experience and all post-launch activity was limited to maintenance and polish.

About this game

Kraken Academy is no ordinary high school. Ghosts fill the art department, cultists meet below the monkey bars and now crocodiles are eating children.

Join forces with a magical Kraken to save the school (and the world) from the dastardly deeds of the Traitor, a malevolent mastermind who could be anyone on the campus grounds!

While saving the world is definitely an important goal there’s a whole range of other activities to dive into. With the help of a magical amulet bestowed upon you by the Kraken, you can play with time to learn teachers’ and students’ routines, and explore every corner of the campus. Attend a costume party, become a detective, and help the school’s janitor bring down a crime syndicate.

Kraken Academy is split into four clubs: Music, Art, Sports and Drama:

🎸 Join the alternative Music Club and complete the school’s edgiest rock band.

🎨 Flex your creative flair in the Art Club and show off your work at an exhibition.

🏅 Compete in challenges to become the ultimate warrior in the Sports Club.

🎭 The Drama Club may be full of snobs, but if you can't beat 'em, join em! Who knows, you may even become a star in their next extravagant play.

Lucky for you, your amulet will let you join them all!

Kraken Academy is a melting pot of wacky personalities. In the Music Club alone you will meet pretty boy and lead vocalist, Vladimir, who struggles with keeping his hysterical fangirls at bay; ill-tempered bassist, Simona, always seen in her giraffe hoodie, who hates everyone (including you); and Broccoli Girl, the drummer, who just can’t get over her ex.

So come on! Grab your uniform, lunch money, magical amulet and ignore the voice in your head that says this is a terrible idea!
