You wrestle with floppy tentacle controls to perform mundane tasks while trying not to blow your cover as a secret octopus dad.

What players say
Players call this a charming but janky student project that is the original prototype for Octodad: Dadliest Catch. Controls are stiff and frustrating compared to the final game, but fans of the series enjoy seeing where it came from. It is very short and free.
