139 - Octodad and Horror Design

Post by matt »

I enjoyed Octodad, but while playing it, I realized that Octodad has similar problems to horror games in terms of potentially frustrating gameplay in order to create other emotions (humor or horror). If you didn't think it was possible to watch someone talk for over 10 minutes comparing Octodad to a horror game, this video will prove you wrong!
