Life is tough for the hardworking vehicles of Snowrunner, but as with many things in life, wouldn't it all be a lot easier if you were a giant purple octopus? 

Modder AlexLemminG thinks so. He describes the mod as an "absolutely unique experience that no one ever asked for!" Audience reaction has been mixed as Snowrunner is normally quite a serious vehicular traversal sim. The octopus has its fans, however. User Theshrilex asks "is marriage possible with it?"

Like any of the vehicles in the game, the octopus can get stuck in difficult terrain but fear not—it has a winch. Beware of the fact that if you drive the octopus poorly, you can flip it like any truck. You can download the mod here.

Snowrunner is great. Andy gave it a score of 83 in our Snowrunner review. "The euphoria, and the relief, of conquering these challenges is what keeps me playing through all of this simulated hardship," he says. "SnowRunner is a brutal, uncompromising off-road driving sim that really wants you to fail—which only makes denying it the satisfaction even sweeter." You can find out more about the game on the official site.
