“	The story of Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion unfolds in a huge test facility deep underground. Who made this facility and for what purpose is veiled in mystery. The area is completely isolated from the outside world, as if time stopped long ago. Objects from the old world drift here and there, like relics of a bygone past.	”

“	The protagonist in Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion is No. 10,008, aka Agent 8. Agent 8 has lost its memory—it doesn’t remember who it is or how it ended up underground. While it seems that most Octarians are pure evil, it appears this one has had its very nature changed somehow by having heard the Squid Sisters’ Calamari Inkantation. It’s up to you to help this lost Octoling escape from this mysterious subterranean world.	”

“	Are Pearl, a.k.a. MC.Princess, and Marina, a.k.a DJ_Hyperfresh, aiding the Octolings? Rumor has it they’ll help Agent 8 escape from the underground via wireless connection from above. We’ve also heard that the untold story of how ‘Off the Hook’ was formed may also be revealed…	”

“	Agent 8 will face over 80 tough tests on the journey out of the underground. With a little help from ‘Off the Hook’ though, Agent 8 will be able to skip the tests that are just too difficult. And don’t worry, even if you skip some tests you’ll still be able to play as an Octoling once you escape the underground.	”

“	Octolings in Inkopolis Plaza? This is highly irregular! It looks like they’ll be joining in on Regular and Ranked Battles, and they’ll have the same stats and abilities as an Inkling. Because of their similar sizes, they’ll also be able to wear the same gear as well. Once you’ve helped Agent 8 reach the surface and completed the Octo Expansion, you’ll unlock the ability to play as one of these tentacled terrors.	”

“	This is Cap'n Cuttlefish, leader of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, which secretly protects the world of Inklings from Octarian forces. He looks very old, but won fame as a brave fighter. Along with his apprentice Agent 3, he’s been out on patrol. Unfortunately, it looks like he somehow strayed into this underground world and lost track of Agent 3 as well.	”

“	In order to move around the underground world, a subway system called Deepsea Metro is essential. The ecosystem of the underground seems to have developed uniquely within its closed environment. Therefore, passengers you can see in the subway look quite different from residents above ground. And while they look a bit grim, it seems they’re not bad guys.	”

“	This is one of the stations where Deepsea Metro stops. Each station is directly connected to a respective test facility in which various tests await Agent 8. Each station will offer a unique test; for example, there appears to be a test in which you must clear an area only using special weapons.	”

Its creator and purpose are shrouded in mystery. It is a place that time forgot in its isolation from the outside world.

However, with the help of Off the Hook, you can skip levels you are too weak to complete. Even if you receive help you can become an octopus once you've escaped, so players who are not confident in their skills should not worry.
“ 【オクト】レギュラーマッチやガチマッチなどでプレイヤーとして使用するタコのガール・ボーイの性能は、イカのガール・ボーイと全く同じ。 ギアも共通のものを使ってコーディネート可能だ。 「オクト・エキスパンション」をクリアすれば、カスタマイズからタコとイカを選べるようになるぞ。 ” — SplatoonJP Twitter	[Octo] The performance of octopus girls and boys in regular battles and ranked battles is exactly the same as squid girls and boys.

He has led the "New! Squidbeak Splatoon" to protect the squid world from the octopus forces. Although he is old, he is a proud warrior. He should have been touring with his disciple, Agent 3, but somehow got stuck as well as separated from Agent 3 after straying into the underground world.
“ 【オクト】地下世界の移動に欠かせないのが、この地下鉄「深海メトロ」。 地下の生態系は閉ざされた空間で独自の進化を遂げているようで、見かける乗客の姿も、地上の住民とはずいぶん雰囲気が異なっている。 見た目はちょっとおっかないが、悪い連中ではなさそうだ。 ” — SplatoonJP Twitter	[Octo] This subway, the "Deep Sea Metro", is indispensible for movement in the underground world. The underground ecosystem seems to have evolved independently in this closed space, and the appearance of its residents is quite different from those above ground. They may look scary, but seem not to be bad people.
“ 【オクト】深海メトロが停車する「駅」。 各駅がそれぞれ実験施設と直結しており、あの手この手の仕掛けが8号に襲いかかる。 駅によって達成条件もさまざまで、スペシャルウェポンのみで挑戦するステージなんかもあるようだ。 さまざまなブキとテクニックを駆使し、地上を目指せ！ ” — SplatoonJP Twitter	[Octo] A "Station" where the Deepsea Metro stops.

“ 【オクト】これがタコの若者がタコに変身した姿だ。 いや、ヒトの姿が変身後で、こっちが本性……とか、細かい話は面倒なので置いておこう。 見た目は違うが、インクの中を素早く泳いだり、スーパージャンプをしたりと、できることや性能はイカとまったく同じだ。 ” — SplatoonJP Twitter	[Octo] This is the young octopuses' octopus form No, after the kid form has been transformed, this one is really natura...

It provides Agent 8, who is lost underground, with the "NAMACO Terminals" and "NAMACO Cards" that are required for exploration.(note) It speaks as if it knows all sorts of things......

“ 【オクト】各駅には改札があり、ここから実験施設に繋がっている。 改札でNAMACOカードにチャージされている「NAMACOポイント」を使ってチャレンジができるぞ。 チャレンジをクリアすると、「クリアほうしゅう」がもらえる。 使うブキによって、もらえるポイント額が異なるようだ。 ” — SplatoonJP Twitter	[Octo] Each station has a ticket gate, which leads to an experimental facility.
