It's in these sections that you can most plainly see the slapstick inspirations of the game's premise. The set-ups for these exchanges are all pretty great, and go a long way toward making Octodad into a more endearing character, especially in the opening chapters of the game. Octodad doesn't really speak so much as he blubs in highly specific tones as his human wife, son, and daughter all try to converse with him. It's simple, but smartly designed stuff, underpinned by terrific visuals and some sharply written dialogue. It is extremely difficult to get Octodad to do much of anything without wrecking most of the objects in your vicinity, but then, that's the point. The challenge of accomplishing those tasks is entirely baked into the goofy control scheme and the resulting destruction. For instance, the second chapter just revolves around Octodad getting out of bed, making coffee, and doing some light household chores. It can be a bit flustering when an arm just doesn't seem to want to line up with an object you're trying to grab, or your legs won't navigate around objects as easily as you might like, but most of the game's early levels don't require you to do anything too strenuous anyway.

It's worth noting that for a game that's largely about wild limb gesticulation, it controls pretty well. Grabbing and holding anything with your right 'arm' most often results in a variety of objects being knocked around, and even just trying to position Octodad into the places required to achieve objectives is an effort unto itself.

That's good, because half the joy of the game is just watching Octodad's ridiculous attempts at normal behavior go awry. You can create a fair amount of accidental (or intentional, I suppose) carnage before you have to worry about any real consequences. Your suspicion level is dictated via a meter at the bottom of the screen, but fortunately, only the most outrageous behavior will cause it to rise sharply. Thrashing around too much or destroying too much scenery will cause humans to become suspicious of you-nevermind that your head is yellow and your limbs have suction cups attached to them, of course. You'll be tasked with simple goals like picking up objects, opening doors, putting on clothes, and the like. You quickly learn Octodad's limb control system, which requires you to independently control his legs and his right arm through careful control stick/mouse movements. This opening level perfectly establishes the basics of everything that comes afterward. The game opens with Octodad frantically trying to prepare for his wedding. Unfortunately, the game doesn't quite stick the landing, as its last act gets bogged down by irritating objectives while trying to wrap up the character's arc a bit too hastily.Д«ut before you get there, there's a lot of goofy fun to be had with Dadliest Catch's early goings. For much of Dadliest Catch's playtime, everything works in a kind of chaotic harmony, creating comedy out of every day situations that are, unsurprisingly, ludicrously challenging for a cephalopod in a suit. However, while that game was more like an elongated cartoon sketch, Dadliest Catch fleshes out the betentacled hero's back story while adding several more ridiculous situations and objectives for the player to engage in.

Of course, this premise was initially established in 2010's Octodad, a student-developed IGF entry which is still available free of cost on the Octodad website. He's like most other dads, except for the part where he's an octopus. Which is no small challenge given that his limbs flail and crash into just about everything as he tries to make his squishy body into something resembling a human form. Despite very obviously being an octopus, nobody-save but for an enraged, indeterminately foreign-sounding chef-has a clue about this, allowing Octodad to go about his daily life. In it, you are Octodad, an octopus masquerading as the patriarch of a nuclear human family. Octodad: Dadliest Catch has one of the great comic premises ever attempted in video games.
