Octodad gets nervous whenever he’s aware that he’s bumping into things, dropping things, flailing tentacles in people’s faces and climbing up and over children without meaning to. With this bizarre premise in mind you should now prepare yourself for what turns out to be a very entertaining but frustrating game as you frolic through ten levels and six different environments.Īs if things weren’t hard enough already, a meter at the bottom of the screen indicates how much attention you’re drawing to yourself. When you go to grab something you can move your tentacle arm in almost every single direction which makes aiming quite difficult although, helpfully, objects you are targeting acquire a subtle green glow so you know what you’re about to pick up. Each leg is controlled individually and you can switch control from your legs to your arms at the press of a button you cannot control both at the same time. Suddenly, simple tasks like turning off an alarm clock, shopping in the mall or taking your kids to an aquarium become something akin to gentle torture as you attempt to flail each individual limb in a vaguely appropriate manner. Lane, Guido Vollbeding.It’s difficult not to laugh as you try and guide Octodad through one area and into another, desperately trying to remain undercover as a sentient sea creature whilst also trying to complete your domestic duties.

Octodad can slip through tight spaces, grab objects with his suckers, and knock things around with tremendous strength. The player’s goals are often simple household chores made difficult and interesting by the flailing, tenuous control they have over Octodad’s body.īeing an octopus also has its strengths. The player controls Octodad like a marionette, dragging his arms and legs around while his body flops along. 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, a dapper octopus masquerading as a human, as he goes about a day of his life. Octodad is a third person adventure game about destruction, deception, and fatherhood.
