When data analyst Leon escapes the monotony of his city life for a weekend in nature, he expects only silence and solitude. Instead, he follows a capybara wearing a backpack through a hidden waterfall, and steps into a world that defies everything he knows.
On Okto Isle, mushroom musicians perform beneath glowing lanterns, and a land octopus paints worlds that exist between reality and dream. What begins as an adventure becomes a meditation on truth, connection, and how the stories we inherit shape what we see.
Here, art isn’t just expression, it’s creation itself. Through painting, memory, and the living network beneath the island’s soil, the inhabitants of Okto Isle remember what the world forgets. As Leon becomes entangled with Chicory, a young islander longing to see life beyond her shores, both are forced to confront the boundaries between their worlds, and the fragile line between remembering and reliving.
Drawing from the quiet beauty and layered histories of Taiwan’s remote islands, Okto Isle is an Asian-inspired fairy tale where fantasy meets philosophy, and where even the land itself remembers.
If you’ve ever wondered what lies beyond the familiar, or how art might connect souls across time and space, this story invites you to step through the waterfall and find out.
