Dadliest Catch is a sequel to the 2010 indie Octodad. In this quirky game, players control Octodad in the game and let him complete tasks in the game's home environment. The problem is he's a cephalopod, not a human. Helping him complete the most basic features takes more effort than most players expect.

Deadliest Catch is a reality show that chronicles the lives of deep-sea fishermen. The combination of octopus and the show's title makes an amusing and absurd contrast between the difficulties of deep-sea fishing and the difficulties of controlling aquatic octopuses.
