Act as an Octodad – a human-like octopus that tries to pretend that he actually is a real homo sapiens. To do so, he becomes a father in a family and tries to build his career and life. However, there are challenges he has to face every single day and in this game you will help him to overcome each. He needs to keep his real identity in secret and nobody, even the members of his family, should know that he is not a human being. In this game, you will meet Octodad that struggles with the hardest and most dangerous period of his life – his children and wife start suspecting him in something really strange… But your mission is to keep the main character under covering at all costs. Play for Octodad and try to keep your real identity in secret – your life depends on it!

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.
The player controls Octodad like a marionette, dragging his arms and legs around while his body flops along. The player’s goals are often simple household chores made difficult and interesting by the flailing, tenuous control they have over Octodad’s body.
Being an octopus also has its strengths. Octodad can slip through tight spaces, grab objects with his suckers, and knock things around with tremendous strength. But if the player does things too out-of-the-ordinary, Octodad’s family will grow suspicious and realize what he really is. If they do, it’s game over for Octodad!

It looks a little bit creepy, but it's a great game!
so when i click play the game just crashes... if you were wondering i have a gtx 1050 and 8 gb of ram and idk why it just crashes
Just as I was musing upon Google's lackluster advertising for Fatherhood, this came up. Thank you for keeping the Tradition Alive.
Happy Father's Day.

Post-Scriptum: I wonder if he tells good jokes.
If you done your research its actually not. This is the ORIGINAL when the Creator was still a student. He then released the original project from back in his student days.
hahaha this is so annoying but so fun to play! :)
the hand movements really irritated me... :D
Octodad is a must play game if you wanna alot of fun. Not only is the controll unique in itself. But the game has a good story behind it. This is the funniest student project I ever played and they improved so much on everything later for the game Octodad: Dadliest Catch.
The best part is that this student project is still free so all of us can enjoy it. Definitely a game everyone should try.
Who Ever Came Up With The Idea For This Game Is A Pure Genius!
I have played the sequal on my Wii-U, but time to rage with harder controls on the Macbook Pro.
I used a mouse but it wasn't any harder than the wii u version.
I wanted to play through this before i played through octodad deadliest catch but i am stuck on the end :(
no, I wanna play this game but its 32 bit, please update it
Happy to see this here! I thought this was a paid game (If it was I'd purchase it, iiif I had the means). So this makes a part of me happy. Thank you :)
Octodad Free
This one is free, but the sequel is paid. You're welcome!
