Octodad

[darthzew]

Do you know what it's like to juggle being a loving husband, father, and octopus? Well, now you can. No, I'm serious.

Meet Octodad, a game in which you play an octopus who disguises himself as a regular suburban father and must build a mannequin in order to avoid dinner with his wife.

It gets better. It's a freeware indie game, so you can play it right now!

Give it a look-see. Check out the trailer. It's a great, charming game. It can be pretty frustrating at times, but it's worth it.

From the trailer it just looks impossible to play...and really broken. I could be wrong, but, since trailers are supposed to be giving you an impression...

.......What sort of acid are you taking?

All of them...

I'll check the game out later.

Words can not describe how profoundly confused and intrigued I am at this very moment.

It's quite real, Chris... At the same time, it's surreal. Haven't finished it yet, but the novelty is really enough to make it awesome. It's also charming as hell.

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 cephalopodian nature a secret from his human family

I'd just like to point that Octopopuss' apendages are highly dexterous and this gross misrepresentaition of my ancestors these glorious creatures must stop!

Now that that's out of the way,
This looks just bonkers enough that I think I'm contractually obligated to play it.
