Plot

Octodad is a freeware stealth game by a team of students from DePaul University. Octodad is a third-person adventure game about destruction, deception and fatherhood. The player controls Octodad, a dapper octopus masquerading as a human, as he goes about a day of his life. His existence is a constant struggle, as he must master mundane tasks with his unwieldy boneless tentacles while simultaneously keeping his cephalopodian nature a secret from his human family. A sequel was released in January 2014, when Octodad must deal with the increasing suspicions of his wife and his own watery past during a trip to the local aquarium in Octodad: Dadliest Catch. In June 2014, it was announced that the sequel would continue in the form of a set of free DLC levels titled Octodad: Shorts, the live-action trailer for which can be seen here.

Living Room

Upon entering the living room a cut scene appears. It is his son who states that Octodad must get past a "gauntlet of awesome challenges", before his suit can be retrieved, to which Octodad reacts with relative uncaring. Jokingly, his son says that he could ground him, but that would make him a chicken. As even chickens have a spine, Tommy concludes that must make him an OCTOPUS, causing Octodad to take the matter at hand seriously and thus beginning the gameplay for this segment. Octodad has to knock down a tower of blocks, a simple act with the controls, and then score a goal into his son's "goal", which is really a cardboard box, this is a more challenging task, yet it is still manageable. The final challenge is a race around the living room, which given the control method is a lot more difficult.

Once all the objectives are complete Tommy graces his father with the key to the grandfather clock in which his suit is stored. Another cut scene appears showing Octodad watching TV. The advert on the television shows a fish restaurant called "Fujimoto". The head chef of this restaurant is crazed and his obsession is to kill, cook and eat Octodad. He then appears at Octodad's living room window and startles him, the screen inks black and the player is back to the game.

Kitchen

After entering the kitchen another cut scene follows. Octodad's wife arrives back from the store and on top of all her shopping is a banana. After asking for it she states "But yesterday you said bananas were demonspawn from your darkest nightmare." A thought bubble coming from Octodad's head then shows him slipping on a banana peel, explaining his hatred for them. She says he can have it and appears to hand him it then recoils at the last second stating he only gets it after he's finished all his kitchen chores. Now it's back in the kitchen and he has another four tasks to complete. These objectives are common household chores easily done by humans, but with Octodad and the control scheme used, it can be more problematic. The main tasks are to clear the red counter of anything left on it, putting dishes into the sink, and then clearing out the fridge, as well as mopping the floor. These can be more problematic than the previous tasks, although when clearing the fridge, all items in the fridge within it can be left on the floor and be considered completed. Once all the objectives are complete, your wife hands Octodad the banana and the player must exit the kitchen to progress to the next mission.

Kid's room

Upon entering the kid's room another cut scene follows. It shows his daughter, whom is frightened by the prospect of monsters in her room, provoked by her brother, Tommy. She says she cannot let go of her "octodoll" if she is scared so, Octodad, the loving father, sets out to banish her fears. One objective is to check the closet for monsters, which will reveal an actual monster was in the closet. Octodad has to stomp any spiders found in the bedroom, and also find a book to read for his daughter. Finally, as soon as she is asleep, Octodad has to find a substitute doll for his daughter, relying on the controls of the hands can be difficult here. Once the doll is retrieved, Octodad must escape her room quietly without waking her and return to the dining room to finally build the mannequin.

Once the mannequin is complete, a penultimate cut scene appears. The chef from Fujimoto bursts in the front door to the house and confronts him with a final challenge. Octodad must climb a ladder. The chef sets Octodad's dining room on fire and stands at the top of the ladder waiting for him. Once the ladder is climbed the final cut scene is shown.
