The plot of the story is that basically you’re an octopus, and a father, but your family can never know the truth for the fear that they might reject you. Indie developers Young Horses have succeeded in making one of the funniest, quirkiest games I have played to date I mean you’re an octopus in a suit! What’s not to like? The Story of Octodad
#Octodad dadliest catch price ps4 series
Release date: January 30th, 2014 (PC/Mac/Linux), April 22nd, 2014 (PS4)Ĭoming into the series with no previous Octodad experience, apart from what I had seen before the games’ release, I was unsure about what I’d make of the game, however I was soon drawn in. The sequel to Octodad (2010), Octodad: Dadliest Catch delivers a fun, unique experience to the player through its hard to navigate controls and its overall charm. Nobody suspects a thing, and you have to keep it that way. If accidentally demolishing a kitchen while trying to grab a plate as a yellow flailing ragdoll makes you laugh as much as we still do after two years of development, we at Young Horses will have achieved all we’ve aspired to.Loving Father. Octodad’s entire existence is a spectacle, and we hope that with the help of things like the sharing features of the PlayStation 4 you’ll be able to spread this insanity to your friends to brighten their day (or raise their awareness of the challenges of the octopus everyman). You love them, and it would be devastating to have them turn their backs on you for being the odd octopode out. If they find out that you’ve only been masquerading as a human, it’s game over. While navigating the world, you must try not to be too conspicuous while others are watching, or do anything to draw suspicion from your family. You’ll know when Octodad has been in a room: toppled bookshelves, broken dishes, flipped tables and every piece of furniture rearranged, as if by a bulldozer. It’s not easy to control a flopping ragdoll of a humanoid.Īll of this comes together as an elegant dance that often ends in the destruction of your surroundings. Need to open a door? Navigate his tentacle…ahem…I mean arm to the knob and grab hold for dear life. Want to walk across the room? You get to control each wobbly step. Conquering the movement of this marionette made of jello is at the core of the game.Įach of Octodad’s limbs can be independently articulated in order to attempt to accomplish seemingly mundane tasks. The way Octodad: Dadliest Catch is played communicates this struggle through the control of Octodad’s body.
There are hardships in Octodad’s life, to say the least. Oh, and you have eight arms you’ve managed to stuff into a fancy suit to form a human shape. All those things we humans take for granted, like counteracting gravity, are a constant challenge. As you can imagine, that makes it hard to simply move around outside of water. You may be asking yourself, “Well, what’s so difficult about being an octopus?”Well, first off, you’re an invertebrate, so you have no bones. Octodad: Dadliest Catch is the first slapstick fatherhood simulator, and we’re excited to say that we’ll be bringing it to the PlayStation 4 in 2014. They, however, have no idea of your secret cephalopod nature. This is what Octodad: Dadliest Catch is all about. Maybe you’re not really the perfect human husband and father of three, but actually an octopus.
Have you ever felt out of place? Just don’t feel you’re good enough, no matter how hard you try? Maybe you’ve got something to hide from the world.
