March 2025

Growing up I thought this game was hard because the youtubers i watched struggled hard while playing. Turns out that they are just incredibly dumb. Peak game though.

Feb. 2025

The first game I played with my now-wife. Surprisingly, we got through it without destroying our relationship. OCTODAD is a silly slapstick comedy adventure that unexpectedly turns into a heartfelt story about family and love—disguised as a rage-inducing, physics-based action game. The gameplay is hilarious, especially in co-op, as it’s intentionally difficult and delightfully wonky.

Jan. 2025

A very short (story takes an hour or two to complete) but fun, weird and weirdly heartfelt and charming story about an octopus pretending to be a human ,a normal human man that is a very real father. My only complaint is I wish the main story was longer, as it feels like it ended as quickly as it began, but it still is a game that takes up a place in my heart, likely due to the strange heartfelt joy it gives me that I can't really put into words. It also makes me reminisce on memories from my youth (teenage years) of watching Let’s Players rage and yell their voices dead at this fictional octopus father, I mean human father. 10/10

This game was truly inspiring, it has made me realise I shouldn't hide in the shadow that is society, I shall be confident, and reveal my true self, as a beastiality specialist. Me and my octopus wife are going to be going public in the near future, wish me luck.

Oct. 2024

Despite how young my account is and my ownership of this game, this is one of THE first games i have ever played on steam. I remember playing this on a very old laptop, (back near 10 or so years ago)and it was quite difficult to play without a mouse. But for little ol kid me, this was incredible, for present me... it's still one of the best out there. A diamond in the rough. Incredibly fun to speedrun, Even more fun to Struggle Play with friends! And a classic theme song: OCTODAAAAaaaaaaaD NOBODY SUSPECTS A THING!
