You’re able to choose the sex of your late spouse (male or female) and also how your daughter came into your life (through birth or adoption). The game starts with you, a single dad, living with your soon-to-be-in-college daughter. Be forewarned, though – you will definitely catch feelings for these darling daddies. It features seven date-able dads with interesting stories that will be sure to keep dating sim fans entertained. I’ll get to why he’s important in a bit – I promise this won’t be me just fangirling (although it may be me fangirling a lot).ĭream Daddy is the dad dating sim of your dreams – created by the legendary Game Grumps, it’s currently being sold on Steam for $14.99.
I clicked on a let’s play for Dream Daddy and saw my future husband – Craig Cahn. I was doing research for another article that I had to write when I stumbled upon Dream Daddy again (there was a correlation there, I promise). At first, I figured that this would be the case with Dream Daddy, so I shrugged it off and thought nothing of it. Even that one where you date your printerwas just bizarre – not worth playing but definitely worth looking into for its sheer absurdity. Games like Panzermadels and that one pigeon dating sim were just okay in my book. One would think that with that title, it would be a joke, but in actuality, there is a ton of care put into the characters.When I heard about Dream Daddy, I thought it would just be like one of those crazy dating sims that are funny for a minute but you don’t actually need to play because they’re not super good – just worth a reaction. Every line of dialogue reinforces how serious Dream Daddy takes itself. All of this is found in the writing, which. Amanda is a character who has gone through heavy life experiences in the midst of finishing high school, and that coping is shown progressively in every conversation from beginning to end. But the biggest relationship you will find in Dream Daddy, isn’t with any other dad’s at all it’s with your daughter. Each character’s background is unique, and it becomes more about exploring their own lives and issues rather than about simply having a romantic night with them-and there certainly is a time and place for when that happens.
But, the best part of Dream Daddy is what is in the writing. This dating simulator has all of the flourishes of what most dating simulators have: mini-games, small choices that determine how much a bachelor likes you, good/bad endings, branching paths, etc. Even you, the player, have an ongoing narrative with your own child, Amanda. That’s the heart of Dream Daddy, the characters and their stories. The “Victorian-clad” dad, Damien, is very into dark garb, but despite his scary attire, he is very friendly and struggles with the relationship of finding commonality with others, and his son. The “athletic” dad, Craig, is a former friend from your partying college days, but is now coping with the ever growing responsibility on his shoulders. At first glance, the various bachelors do have a small stereotype type attached to them, but are built off of that stereotype in very unique ways. The dates focus on small relationships and character building among the different people. From here, you can go on various dates with different dad’s in the neighborhood. Amanda is about to go off to college and you are trying to make a new life after the death of your spouse. You are also a dad to a high school senior girl named AManda, and the two of you have moved to a new home on a cul de sac where everyone you meet is a neighbor, and very friendly. The setup of the plot is fairly simple, with complexity packed into the relationships between seven “bachelors”, who are all dad’s.
