![]() ![]() Maybe you, like Octodad, are having a hard time raising children or performing at work. My secret is that I struggle with the responsibilities of adulthood. To keep that secret, he has to do his best to mimic the way people behave with one another. No one knows what they’re doing when it comes to raising a family and human relationships, and we all live in constant fear that someone will expose us for the frauds we are. The way this octopus flails about helplessly as he tries to do the most basic things for his kids is devastating to experience because every parent feels something similar. Octodad’s plight, in a way, reflects everyone’s self doubts. The basic conceit makes for a really joyful and silly experience that is easy to laugh with, but Octodad also uses its absurd gameplay to touch on some themes that players might relate to. His suit is enough to fool even his wife, kids, and everyone else … except for an evil chef who is desperate to out Octodad to the world and then make sushi out of him. It’s obvious to the player what is going on, but the colorful animated characters in Octodad have no idea that the person slopping around everywhere is actually an octopus. On top of that, Dadliest Catch is like a great Saturday morning cartoon. This turns mundane chores, like making coffee or grocery shopping, into hilarious visual gags. To accomplish this, he constantly battles with his shortcomings to perform his fatherly duties. Octodad is an octopus that can breathe air, and all he wants in life is for his family to love him.

However as of late, his wife has become suspicious of Octodad's dubious behavior. Up until now, Octodad and his loving wife and kids have been simply enjoying life from him doing chores around the house to playing with his son and daughter, all the while his family being blissfully unaware of Octodad's secret of actually being an octopus (as shown in the first Octodad game). While the player can cause all types of mayhem with Octodad's erratic movements and behavior, it's advised not to cause too much chaos when being watched by others as that will raise the Suspicion meter, leading to Octodad's true identity being discovered when full. Almost all puzzles and tasks revolve solely around the mechanics of Octodad's movement. It's possible to grab and fling just about every object in the game. Octodad is controlled by individually moving around his arms and legs (read: his tentacles). A Xbox One version is being developed in-house. A Wii U port, developed by Panic Button,was announced during GDC 2015. The game was released for the Windows PC, Mac, and Linux on January 30th, 2014 and for the PS4 on April 22, 2014. The sequel to the original freeware indie-hit Octodad where the player takes control of an octopus who is posing as an average everyday husband, father, and all-around normal human guy that's a human and not an octopus. ![]()
