      With Octodad joke, are you implying that you didn’t see through the disguise? If so, I don’t think it fits with the rest and is confusing, tbh.

        Not so much that I didn’t see through the disguise, more that the running joke of the game is that nobody else sees it other than the chef.

          That’s what I meant, you’re making the joke from the perspective of a person that doesn’t realize there’s an octopus in the game, even though there is one.

          And the reason I said it’s confusing is because the game title is only perceived by the player of the game, and the player is explicitly told/shown that you’re playing as an octopus. So the perspective used in the joke is impossible, but I understand that I’m being pedantic, feel free to ignore my ramblings caused by the uncontrollable urge to point out the inconsistency.

            Everyone in that game can see he’s an octopus, to the point you could argue it’s also explicitly shown to them (he literally has an octopus head and tentacles in full visibility, and can’t even speak English) and one character besides the chef is confused upon finding out no one else realised.

            I think you’d have a hard time making an argument it’s hidden from any in game character any better than the player.

              Let me try to, anyway.
              IIRC, you start the game in the aquarium as an octopus, and then escape. That’s when you’re explicitly shown to be an octopus. Every NPC, however, sees the octopus in some amount of disguise. So even if we constantly roll a nat 1 on perception check like all the NPC, we didn’t have to roll it on the first encounter, therefore we know it’s an octopus.

                You don’t remember correctly. The aquarium escape is near the end of the game and the first time we see him out of disguise. We start the game at his wedding and then time skip to his house, he starts clothed both times.

                  Is that so? Then, I stand corrected and retract my complaint, it somewhat makes sense now. And in my defense, it’s been more than a decade since I played and I think I finished it in one sitting, so it’s a blur.

    You know what, shout out to Concord here. The official definition of a concord:

    agreement or harmony between people or groups.

    Everyone did in fact agree not to play the game.

      I’ve read a wiki page about it, critics didn’t even score it too low. To me it seems that the issue was that Sony tried to make something just to profit off, without considering making it fun or novel, unexpectedly people didn’t want to pay for yet another multiplayer shooter without anything new.
