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!

(This is the original free student project. The fully complete Octodad: Dadliest Catch can be purchased here.)

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!
