It’s pretty clear that something else is up with Amanda too, and lot of your choices will be about how to treat her. Your partner - Amanda’s mother or father, your choice - has died before the game starts, and you’re both mourning that loss. Your character’s relationship with his daughter, Amanda, is the beating heart of the game.Īs a senior in high school, Amanda is going through a lot: college applications, friendship struggles, the quest for her own independence. If you’re expecting a game whose end-all and be-all is fucking hot dads, Dream Daddy somehow… isn’t that. Powerful items included her childhood drawings, and her super effective good grades. The goal? Destroy the other dad’s HP by bragging about how freaking awesome my daughter is. The screen blinked, tinny chiptunes began playing, and I found myself in a Pokémon-esque minigame. In an early part of the game, my character met another dad at the park, and we began to talk about our daughters. The writers chose to gently lampoon dad culture, instead of making the existence of gay dads the butt of the joke. It’s a genuinely competent dating sim geared to welcome a queer audience.
Dream Daddy isn’t just the same “fuck me, Daddy,” joke over and over. Instead what developer (and popular YouTube channel) Game Grumps delivered is a game that actually fleshes out its characters, treats their problems with respect and is genuinely funny to boot. The game could easily have had nothing more to say than “The internet thinks dads dating dads is hot, and that’s hilarious.” The danger with Dream Daddy was that it could’ve been a goof on queer players.
