Test Chamber – Octodad: Dadliest Catch
After becoming finalists for the IGF student prize in 2011, developer Young Horses formed to build a new version of Octodad for a more public release. That game, Octodad: Dadliest Catch, has just released on PC, Mac, and Linux, and we hopped in to give it a try.
In today’s Test Chamber, Andrew Reiner and I explore one of the early levels of the game, helping Octodad start his day at home and complete some yard work. The resulting flailing and knocking over of objects gives a great idea of the both the laughs and frustrations inherent to this strange game.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
