While some tasks such as weeding the garden or making coffee might sound easy enough, performing these tasks in your octopine form is very far from straightforward, which is where Octodad starts to struggle for the player as well as the protagonist. While Octodad himself can’t speak as such, his thoughts and opinions (made up of gargles and such like) are conveyed by an array of witty ‘translation’ subtitles.

There is also a quirky innocence to how the family interacts and the tasks you have to perform – set pieces that involve reminiscing about dating and skits entertaining the children are especially heartfelt. Balancing the absurd with the sincere, the ‘fish out of water’ (pardon the sort-of pun) storyline is objectively ridiculous, but it will be down to personal taste whether the player embraces the craziness and enjoys it. The sitcom-like set up and writing, along with the decent voice acting and zany visual humour, is what gives the game an endearing quality.

The antagonist, Chef Fujimoto, knows of this deception, and is out to expose our beloved hero to his family. Don’t forget that, because it’s important. This might be a good time to reiterate that you are, in fact, an octopus, as well as a father and husband. After the game’s introduction tutorial segment that takes place on your wedding day, you soon settle down into your bog standard lifestyle performing mundane, routine tasks such as mowing the lawn, trips to the supermarket and trying to keep the kids occupied.

Marrying into a family that is completely oblivious to anything peculiar, you take on the role of husband and father in a typical suburban household.
