The sequel to an independent game made by a group of university students in 2010, Octodad: Dadliest Catch features intentionally difficult controls intended to lead to many humorous moments. Octodad is an octopus who is married to a human with two children that do not know that he is not human. Players must lead Octodad through his daily routine while trying to keep his identity as an octopus a secret. The challenge is in keeping Octodad's tentacles in check as they can flail about almost uncontrollably thanks to the game's physics engine.
