Octodad: Dadliest Catch

Description

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a game about destruction, deception, and fatherhood on Mac. The player takes control of Octodad, a dexterous octopus masquerading as a human being. Octodad's life is a constant struggle in which he must tackle mundane everyday tasks using his boneless tentacles, all while keeping his cephalopod nature a carefully guarded secret from his unsuspecting human family.

In this sequel to Octodad's original adventures, our cephalopod hero finds himself in yet another predicament — with his wife's suspicion steadily growing, he is forced to undertake a spectacularly ill-fated trip to the local aquarium. Do you have enough fatherly instincts to guide the titular octopus dad as he desperately tries to conceal his marine origins from his family and keep his flailing tentacles intact and out of trouble?

Back in October 2010, a team of students released the original version of Octodad into the world. Despite the widespread belief that it was merely a simulator of a perfectly normal human father, the game became a cult hit, garnered significant press coverage, and became a finalist in the Student category at the 2011 Independent Games Festival. Octodad attracted enough attention to inspire the team to launch a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign and establish the Young Horses studio — all with the goal of making the new Octodad game bigger, better, and giving it the polish it truly deserved. After two and a half years of dedicated development, among the finest octodad dadliest catch games, it was ready to awkwardly flop right into your welcoming arms on Mac.
