Game Summary

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.

Developer Bio

Octodad was created by a student team at DePaul University’s College of Computing & Digital Media in Chicago. Nine of the original members have now gone on to form the indie game studio Young Horses to create Octodad 2.
