It’s clear that Amanda has nothing but respect and love for her father, and she knows she has him wrapped around her little finger. They’re still figuring out what their relationship will look like in the future, but right now, they’re more focused on taking things day by day.
She’s just about on her way to college, and your relationship with her is a quirky one based on a plethora of inside jokes and pizza. While there are many possible relationships with dashingly good-looking dads, there’s an additional relationship that you have to foster – the one with your daughter, Amanda. Choose carefully, as you want to end each date with an “S” ranking to ensure a satisfying conclusion to your dad-ventures! Go on three dates and end them on good terms to unlock a typically “happy ending”, an endearing epilogue, and a secret photo of the flirty fathers. There are some mini-games sprinkled throughout the dates, depending on your dad of choice, which can range from a Pokemon-style battle using daughters to fishing or fixing a radio. The point of the game is to go on dates with the eligible dads, and during those dates, there will be some dialogue and prompts that will dictate your path to either a good ending with your before-married beau or a bad one. The voice-acting is slight, but appreciated – each character may only say a total of five or so different phrases and sounds, like laughs or sighs. Like, this is music that I can honestly only see in this game. It makes the character more of the focus point and doesn’t distract from the delicious dads. The art style is SUPERB – the characters are all very well drawn and the backgrounds are detailed, but not overly so.
After choosing your Dadsona, you’re thrown right into the story – you’ve just moved into a new neighborhood with your daughter, and wouldn’t you know it, your entire cul-de-sac is full of single dads just ready to mingle, and it’s up to you to find your Dream Daddy. You’re then able to choose your customizable Dadsona, picking out important things like face shape, body type, and clothing style (egg nips shirt, yassss).
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.
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.
