Living on Borobo Reef is tough, especially if you're a spud who's down on his luck. Ex-detective Tedrick Gritswell just wants to be left alone, like any decent octopus deserves, but a visit from a drop-dead gorgeous dame coupled with a whole lot of pestering from an annoying cuttlefish sees him take up the case of a missing VIP.

The going is tough. Tommy Two-Tone is in the picture, and you know that can't be good, right? With all the heavies, whores, wise-guys and simpletons swimming about, it gets more than dangerous, it gets downright deadly.

Tedrick Gritswell of Borobo Reef

The detective business is going swell for Tedrick 'Stumpy' Gritswell. With more cases than he can shake a keel-stick at, he and his assist-kicks Bill and Reginald are up to their noggins in work. That changes when he is hired by Barnes to investigate the bizarre death of a powerful and influential figure.

His probing sweeps him into the heart of a clandestine society, revealing a world spoken of only in whispers. Hidden dangers and sinister characters shatter Tedrick's world, thrusting him closer and closer to the black bowels of the Abyss.

Tedrick Gritswell Makes Waves

Crime doesn't take a holiday, even during the worst of storms.

As a favour to Captain Barnes, Tedrick 'Stumpy' Gritswell takes on a case regarding a barren stretch of land. Sounds simple enough and the clams are decent. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, apart from a senseless murder, there's that. And vicious barracudas. And crazy dames, psychopathic upstarts, corrupt police, vengeful Old Salts and a dangerous algae that could spell the end of civilisation.

All things considered, it's just another tide on Borobo Reef.

Tedrick Gritswell Gets Crabby

True friends stick with you through the hard times, even if you've gone and kidnapped the son of a psychopathic monster.

With Ava in the clutches of Syd Carbone, what else was Tedrick supposed to do? Now he must race to get to the source of the Emerald Algae before every other spud in the ocean gets their filthy mitts on it.

Nothing can stand in his way. Except for the bureaucrats at Town Hall, maybe. Hordes of savage squid are a hindrance, and the police aren't exactly friendly for some reason.

Buff! Sometimes a spud can't catch a break, but Tedrick will get to the bottom of it, come hell or high water.
