About Octodad: Dadliest Catch

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a game about destruction, deception, and fatherhood. The player controls Octodad, a dapper octopus masquerading as a human, as he goes about his life. Octodad's existence is a constant struggle, as he must master mundane tasks with his unwieldy boneless tentacles while simultaneously keeping his cephalopodan nature a secret from his human family. In this sequel to the splash hit Octodad, our cephaloprotagonist has gotten himself in a bind between his wife’s mounting mistrust, and a disastrous trip to the local aquarium! Are you dad enough to control the titular octopus father as he strives to hide his nautical nature from his family while keeping his tangled tentacles intact? In Octo-ber 2010, a group of university students released the original Octodad into the world. Despite everyone being convinced that the game was about a normal human dad, the game was a cult hit, gained critical acclaim, and was an Independent Games Festival Student Finalist in 2011. Octodad received enough attention that the team decided to run a Kickstarter, form the game studio Young Horses, and create a bigger, better, more polished game about Octodad. Two and a half years

Better than expected

Pros: Original gameplay Comedy Varied levels Solid exploration of game mechanics Cons: Fairly short game (About 2 hours) Camera views can be a bit obnoxious to work with Overall, I'm glad that I bought it, but you should probably wait for a sale considering how short it is.

(Translation: This is a wonderfully realistic simulation of being a nice, normal human male with absolutely nothing strange about him. Just a simple story about one man's plight in the face of fatherly duties and mundane tasks-- which he, of course, finds completely easy and by no means complicated in any way-- and his struggle with living in a world of judgmental peers who obviously harbor envious feeling in regards to his most gentlemanly fashion sense. So many ties! Such fancy hats. And many references to cultural icons that a man who lives on top of the land and never takes off his suit would definitely recognize. Not sure why everyone is so tickled by this video gamery. Maybe they should have called this Totally Human Motor Skills Simulator 2014?)

One of the silliest games on Steam, yet one of the best free-time killing games

One of the silliest games on Steam, yet one of the best free-time killing games. Co-op is especially hilarious as everyone in the room screams at eachother do perform simple tasks. If you have the cash, definitely pick it up. It's even better if you have some friends nearby to play along.
