## About Octodad: Dadliest Catch

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a 2014 action-adventure indie game developed and published by Young Horses. Players control an octopus attempting to pass as a human father, navigating everyday life through deliberately awkward tentacle-based physics controls. The game features collectible-hunting, stealth sequences, physics-based task completion, and includes a level editor alongside its main campaign. Reviewers highlight that the absurd premise turns mundane household tasks into comedic set pieces, and players describe the local co-op mode as adding extra fun to the experience. The game is priced at $14.99 and is verified on Steam Deck. Reviewers describe the humor as quirky and lighthearted, while players note that the intentionally difficult controls become part of the fun. The title holds a 94% positive rating from over 6,000 Steam reviews.
