Choose and change the storyline
Dream Daddy is a dad dating simulator with attractive graphics and puns galore.
Like other simulator dating games, once you've established your character, you can make decisions and choose responses to move down different paths of the game. What sets this game apart is the dad dating concept. Where most other titles in this genre focus on ‘waifus’ or anime girlfriends, this approach broadens the audience a bit.
Along with the main storyline, there are dad-themed minigames to break up the dialogue and keep you entertained. The game offers an escape into a lighthearted world, with likable characters and attractive animation.
What keeps the game fresh and fun is the witty dialogue, which seamlessly moves between silly and serious topics with plenty of dad jokes thrown in. Unfortunately, there’s no conversation log, like with most other simulator games, so if you don’t catch certain pieces of dialogue, you can’t go back to read it. This is an essential feature that is noticeably absent.
At the same time, a lot is happening in the game and this aspect can make the action appear cramped on a phone screen. Generally you can see everything, but you need to be precise and careful when making your dialogue selection. The downsides end with the cluttered display, as the rest of the title is impressive and enjoyable overall.
Where can you run this program?
iPhone users will need iOS 9.0 or above to run this app. It’s also available for Android devices.
Is there a better alternative?
No. There are similar simulation games, but none include the option to date fathers. Halloween Hearts, Our Lovely Escape, and Kaiju Crush are other choices.
Our take
There are one or two frustrating aspects to this game in terms of overcrowding on the screen and no way of going back to check what you missed. You’ll still enjoy the fun storylines that this game offers.
Should you download it?
Yes. If you want an appealing and fun simulator with witty lines, this will keep you entertained.
