07: Octodad Dadliest Catch

Listen Later

This week, we discuss the silly, silly platform adventure game Octodad: Dadliest Catch.

Octodad is a game about controlling a slippery octopus in a suit through levels filed with tons of tiny physics-enabled objects while trying not to attract attention. Nobody can know your secret octopus nature!

The trailer is absolutely fantastic.

This little game is one of our favorites yet. Octodad is available for the PS4, Mac, Windows, and Linux. Expect it to take about 2 hours to complete.
