Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator

Mechanics

Before the adventure begins, the player creates their avatar. The in-game character creation system delivers the player with plenty of capabilities; one can play as an older man with a big stomach, or a sporty guy with a fashionable haircut.

The experience focuses on trying to inspire romantic feelings towards the protagonist in one of seven males differing in their appearances, personalities and lifestyles. Among them, the player will find mainly a teacher, a representative of the goth subculture, or a man with a darker personality. The player talks to them in order to gain their sympathy, completes different quests, and participates in diverse mini-games. However, spending time with the daughter, helping her to solve issues or taking her for shopping or to a restaurant is also important.

Choices made by the player determine the course of events unfolding on the screen, therefore affecting what will be the end of the protagonist's romantic affair, and how is it going to influence the relationship with Amanda.

Technical aspects

Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator for PC resembles visual novels in the form the experience was brought for the players. This affects both the gameplay formula and the visuals – the game uses a cartoonish graphic style and while talking to neutral characters, the player observes modestly animated sprites depicting the characters. It is worth noticing, that particular characters were voiced-over by the team from Game Grumps themselves, as well as their friends.
