Octodad's existence is a constant struggle, as he must master mundane tasks with his unwieldy boneless tentacles 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. Dadliest Catch, a sequel to the freeware Octodad released a few years back on PC (you can download and play that version here), occupies a relatively new genre of games that make it difficult to do. Octodad: Dadliest Catch - This game is very similar to the simulator goat, only here you have a story to which you aspire to the whole game. You have to play for the octopus, who fell in love with an ordinary girl. You will shop clean up around the house, go on dates, go. Octodad: Dadliest Catch is the sequel to the splash hit, Octodad! This time, our cephaloprotagonist has gotten himself in a bind between his wife’s mounting mistrust, and a disastrous trip to the local aquarium!
Octodad is a third person adventure game about destruction, deception, and fatherhood. The player controls Octodad, a dapper octopus masquerading as a human, as he goes about a day of his life. His 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.
The player controls Octodad like a marionette, dragging his arms and legs around while his body flops along. The player’s goals are often simple household chores made difficult and interesting by the flailing, tenuous control they have over Octodad’s body.
Being an octopus also has its strengths. Octodad can slip through tight spaces, grab objects with his suckers, and knock things around with tremendous strength. But if the player does things too out-of-the-ordinary, Octodad’s family will grow suspicious and realize what he really is. If they do, it’s game over for Octodad!

Just as I was musing upon Google's lackluster advertising for Fatherhood, this came up. Thank you for keeping the Tradition Alive.
Happy Father's Day.

Post-Scriptum: I wonder if he tells good jokes.
If you done your research its actually not. This is the ORIGINAL when the Creator was still a student. He then released the original project from back in his student days.
hahaha this is so annoying but so fun to play! :)
the hand movements really irritated me... :D
Octodad is a must play game if you wanna alot of fun. Not only is the controll unique in itself. But the game has a good story behind it. This is the funniest student project I ever played and they improved so much on everything later for the game Octodad: Dadliest Catch.
The best part is that this student project is still free so all of us can enjoy it. Definitely a game everyone should try.
Who Ever Came Up With The Idea For This Game Is A Pure Genius!
I have played the sequal on my Wii-U, but time to rage with harder controls on the Macbook Pro.
I used a mouse but it wasn't any harder than the wii u version.
I wanted to play through this before i played through octodad deadliest catch but i am stuck on the end :(
no, I wanna play this game but its 32 bit, please update it
Happy to see this here! I thought this was a paid game (If it was I'd purchase it, iiif I had the means). So this makes a part of me happy. Thank you :)
This one is free, but the sequel is paid. You're welcome!
There are many weird games, but Octodad: Dadliest Catch has to go down as one of the weirdest! Here we have a game that makes you play as an octopus who is just trying to live his best life and be a loving husband and an involved father. It sounds weird, but there is something so very captivating about this game.
Meet Octodad
Octodad is a character that I find very appealing. He is a father and a husband, but he does not want people knowing that he is an Octopus. Thankfully he likes to dress rather dapper but getting around the human world as an octopus is rather tough and he has scientists and other nosey people out after him. The basic goal of the game is to help Octodad live his life, take care of his family and not get spotted and outed as an octopus. I know this sounds weird, but you really do connect with Octodad and want to help him help his family.
Hard To Master, But Still Fun
Once people get over how weird the premise of Octodad: Dadliest Catch is, they always talk about the controls. Controlling Octodad does take a while to get used to. You control his limbs with their own buttons and getting the hang of just moving forward can take some time. Octodad can also grand and throw stuff around which is needed to complete various puzzles that the game throws your way.
Having Octodad cause chaos as he is walking from place to place is actually very funny. However, you have a meter (basically your life meter) and the more chaos you cause the more attention you draw to yourself and the meter will fill. If it fills all the way people realize you are an octopus in clothing and you have to start over at the last checkpoint. This is a far more challenging game than many people realize, but it is also a lot of fun.
Doing Chores As An Octopus
I really like the way that Octodad: Dadliest Catch is set in different sections. These have a lot of variety and they will challenge you in different ways. For example, the game eases you in at the start as it is your wedding day and you have to get dressed and make your way down the aisle in as “normal” a fashion as possible.My personal favorite level is the one in the supermarket. Just like an average dad, Octodad needs to get groceries. I found this level hilarious and as I am trying to do my shopping having people look and star did make me rather nervous! While there are some bonus episodes, Octodad: Dadliest Catch is still a rather short game, but it is a fun and memorable ride while it lasts.
In all, I never in a million years thought this would be a game that I liked. However, I have actually played through Octodad: Dadliest Catch numerous times and had a great time every time I do. It is not the easiest game to get into and the controls along with the premise are super weird, but that is the point of the game!
8/10
Pros:
- Octodad is an awesome character
- I love the story of the game
- It has a lot of humor

- The game is a bit short
Overall rating: 8
