Octodad: Dadliest Catch - Where did the kids come from?

I don't even know where to begin. Basically, you're an octopus pretending to be human. You are married, you have a wife and two kids and you must keep up the act of being a human. You have to do chores, pick up groceries, and avoid evil cooks from turning you into octopus sushi. Basically its some kind of octopus-human simulator game. Its awkward, its funny, and its incredibly frustrating at times.

The first thing you notice about the game is how hard it is to control. You can control Octodad's arms and legs (technically more arms but we'll call them legs since he walks on two) individually. Left click controls the left leg and right click controls the right. You then drag your mouse to make Octodad walk, or in this case wobble around kicking everything in sight because of the impossible controls. Its made this way on purpose to imitate an octopus trying to imitate a human. However, you have to remember that you must not let people know you're an octopus. So you can't fling around your legs and kick your daughter on the face (too often) when you bring her the milk because the controls messed up. Kicking her once or twice is fine. There is a suspicion meter at the bottom and when it fills up they will know you are an octopus. So stop kicking her in the face.

The characters are all fun and likable. You have the mom who is really suspicious of you, yet at the same time incredibly gullible. The sporty son who thinks you're the coolest. The bratty daughter who is somehow not annoying. Then you have you the gurgling octopus pretending to be a human. One messed up family that is entertaining to watch. The game is fun but there are a few parts that completely piss you off. Once you get to the aquarium stage, you need to play a bunch of mini games. Trying to play these games with the worst controls in a game is frustrating as shit. But at least, its doable. Then you get to the part where the elevator breaks down and you have to go UP an escalator that's going down. NOW YOU'RE IN SOME SHIT. You have to keep dragging your mouse up to walk while you keep getting dragged down. If you miss a single step you're going down to the bottom. This whole time your daughter is screaming at you to hurry up because she's trapped in the darkness and a monster is going to come and eat her. After fifteen minutes you finally reach the top and hit the reverse escalator button so your daughter can get up. You turn the corner and you fucking punch the screen. ITS ANOTHER ESCALATOR THAT'S EVEN FASTER THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE. You son of a bitch. Now you have to go turn the sensitivity all the way up to even have a remote chance of passing this part with a mouse.

Frustrating parts aside, its a short quirky game about an octopus pretending to be a human. If that's your thing check it out. If not I don't blame you.
