But you can also enjoy the game just on a surface level of “it is difficult to get that lawnmower out of the shed with all those sportsballs!" While I don’t think that many people are actually octopi, I can certainly relate to the idea that I look like I’ve got my stuff together, but really am just flailing about to see what works. The whole experience is about trying to pretend that you’re something that you’re really not. It’s easy to see where the connection to the idea of impostor syndrome comes in with this game. This all while you have octopus limbs that don’t do a great job at simulating human legs and hands, and the human tasks that you must accomplish. You’ll catch on pretty quickly, though – you control an octopus that is pretending to be human, trying to do normal human things like going grocery shopping, mowing the lawn, and avoiding the maniacal chef who wants nothing more than to reveal you for the fraud that you are. And if the game feels like you’re jumping into something you should know more about, that’s because it is a sequel to a student game that the principals of the studio made while they were students at DePaul. Don’t ask why the children are human, you won’t get any good answers. Finally on mobile, Young Horses’ Octodad: Dadliest Catch ($4.99) has you controlling the eponymous Octodad, an octopus who has a wife and two children, and is just really trying to keep this good thing going.
