Octodad

Octodad is a third-person adventure game about an octopus masquerading as a human while trying to get through an ordinary day and keep his nature secret from his family. You control the dapper Octodad by dragging his arms and legs like a marionette as his body flops along. Simple household chores become difficult because his movements are unwieldy and hard to control.

Household tasks

Octodad’s octopus body can also help him: he can slip through tight spaces, grab objects with his suckers and knock things around with great strength. Acting too unusually makes his family suspicious; if they discover what he really is, the game ends.

Levels and family

The game has six levels, three family members to deceive, roughly 35–45 minutes of gameplay and one non-canonical ending.
