Octodad: Dadliest Catch<\/a><\/em>, the cephalopod-masquerading-as-human simulator (we’ve all been there), is set to release on January 30 on Steam, the Humble Store, and GOG.com. The PlayStation 4 launch is expected sometime in March.<\/p> To commemorate the occasion, developer Young Horses has put out the above launch trailer, which shows that Octodad isn’t just a person who flails around and knocks things over, but also that he has some serious issues to deal with. A potential antagonist is shown in the chef who appears to know Octodad’s true identity, and perhaps wants to prepare some fresh tako or pulpo a la gallega. Additionally, a family trip to the aquarium is central to the trailer. Octodad seems reluctant to go, but once there he almost looks nostalgic for his former underwater life.<\/p>
Will he abandon his loving family? Will he be chopped into bits by the chef? We will find out later this month.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":165397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[190,1,97,101,1247,137],"tags":[522,541,1320,382,299,4095,136],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":12,"display_name":"Darren Nakamura","user_login":"Darren Nakamura","user_nicename":"darren-nakamura"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
