Teaser – Octodad: Dadliest Catch

Indie studio Young Horses has released a teaser trailer for their sequel to 2010’s fumbling physics game, Octodad. Titled Octodad: Dadliest Catch, this sequel continues the story of an octopus posing as a human as he tries to accomplish everyday tasks with, and for, his oblivious human family. No task is easy however, when all you have to work with are boneless, suction-cupped arms. Additionally, there’s now a catchy theme song that I’ll no doubt have lodged in my head for quite some time.

The original game is still free for download, and anyone who hasn’t hopelessly smacked every household object in the room onto the floor while trying to turn off an alarm clock played it yet should go give it a try.

The teaser trailer states that Octodad: Dadliest Catch will be arriving on shore in 2013. As a fan of the first game and all things cephalopod, I’m looking forward to getting my two, perfectly human hands on it.

octodad-portraitOctodad, last year’s amazing docudrama (and award-winning game) following the life of a secret cephalopod, is getting a sequel!

Several of the members from the DePaul University team that created Octodad last year have founded a new indie studio: Young Horses. In addition to announcing their new studio, they’ve also announced Octodad 2, which promises to deliver more of the wacky, out-of-control, physics-based gameplay as the free original, but now with a “much more polished, full-featured and longer game!”

To help raise development funds and meet their planned release schedule of next year, Young Horses has opened a donation page on Kickstarter. Based on their donation, supporters are also eligible for anything as simple a pre-order of the game or early beta access, to t-shirts, plushies, and even a full-sized, framed oil painting. Not only is it a great way to help get this dream game off the ground, but also an open door to fans who want to show their love of Octodad, so head on over to the game’s Kickstarter page for more information, including a teaser trailer.

For those of you who never played the first game, download it for free from the Octodad website.
