OCTOPinbs, a firefighting social deception game from co-developers tri-Ace, Lasengle Inc., and publisher Aniplex, adds a pinch of pizzazz to the firefighting perils on PC via Steam with the addition of new skins, emotes and stylized gear in today’s COSTUME2 DLC update.
OCTOPinbs owners can download the free DLC here, and aspiring firefighters can purchase the game with a limited-time 20% launch discount until Mon, May 25, 2026.
Fight Fires, Spot the Saboteur
Join a team with three to ten Octopus firefighters to extinguish a suspicious emergency fire in a flaming building. Beware, as sneaky Squids lurk among the crew to add fuel to the fire.
Keep an eye out for suspicious behaviors, and peer into nearby rooms to catch the squid in the act. Send them to the Octojar to reveal their real identity and expose their evil deeds, but be prepared for savage squids who turn the whodunnit hunt into a PvP showdown!
Hot New Gear, Cool New Emotes
If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen…or put on the Chef’s Hat and Outfit perfect for dousing blazing kitchens or turning squid fire starters disguised as “teammates” into fried calamari.
Turn up the vacation vibes with the Swimwear outfit and Pooltime Hose Set. Call out suspicious behaviors, encourage teammates, and communicate on the fly with all-new emotes.
Gather with other players during “OCTOPinbs TIME” a scheduled community play session taking place on the following dates:
Fri, May 22nd, 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM (JST)
Sat, May 23rd, 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM (JST)
