What is Octodad: Dadliest Catch like?

Each controls one limb of the octopus and try to keep anyone from noticing the mess.

Octodad is an octopus pretending to be a human dad, and his family can't find out. In co-op, 2 to 4 of you on the same screen each take a set of his limbs, so walking across a room or picking up an object means coordinating who moves which arm or leg. An optional roulette mode swaps the limbs at random every time you complete an objective, without telling anyone who has what. Co-op is local only.

No
