One of your new neighbors, Joseph, a handsome man with a chiseled jawline, stops by to offer some cookies and welcome you to the neighborhood. You and Amanda arrive at your new home in the afternoon and unload your belongings. No direct mention or any hints of another relationship for you in the years since your wife’s passing are presented. I rolled with the first option and I assume that some parts of the experience could differ if the adoption option is chosen. You are given the option to decide if Amanda was born to you or adopted. Your wife passed away some undetermined time ago when Amanda was still fairly young. You are a single dad that is very close to his daughter.
A two-dimensional representation of what I was as a person and father was birthed from the creator and inserted into the game world.ĭream Daddy opens with a scene between you and your daughter Amanda designed to provide some exposition against the backdrop of packing up belongings for the moving truck that takes the both of you to Maple Bay. Admittedly, the choices available for body types, haircuts, eyes, and the like were limited, but I was able to find a combination that felt like me. Right off the bat, Dream Daddy asks you to use its character creator tool to build up a dad in your ideal image, also known as your “dadsona”. Everything that follows will contain spoilers. The entirety of the game is a series of still images sliding around the screen and seemingly endless lines of text providing the dialogue between you, your daughter and the denizens of a town called Maple Bay. The game centers around you and your daughter during a move to a new town in the weeks leading up to her high school graduation. Getting out of town and meeting new folks helped give me a new perspective on things and I understood that my previous attitude was wrong.ĭream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator is a visual novel game that I knew little about going in, other than it had a collection of dads and that they were dateable. It was not until I was grown that I thought of it as anything more than a joke or something that broken or sinful people participated in. Raised in rural Georgia under the wing of a semi-strict southern Baptist community, my initial attitudes and feeling towards homosexuality were certainly influenced by my upbringing and environment. I’m going to preface all of this by saying that I’m 90% sure that I am not the target audience for this game.
