Have You Played… Dream Daddy?
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I’ve never really played many dating simulator games. Back when Dream Daddy first came out, I gave it a go, and had a solid time overall. I went on some nice dates with a han

The 10 best visual novels on PC
On a rainy night, some people enjoy getting comfy, grabbing their beverage of choice, and curling up with a good book. Some others like doing the same exact thing, but with a game. I say, why not both? Visual novels are the perfect genre of game to curl up with. Here s our collec

Why visual novels are a haven for LGBT+ stories
As a young queer woman, often I have to ask myself what media I want to consume in my video games. Sometimes it s simply picking the next best thing that includes LGBT+ representation, even if that representation is actually pretty damn awful. There are limits when it comes to ce

7 more games that could use a Geralt of Rivia guest appearance
I worry about Geralt. The Witcher series may be over for now, but this hasn’t stopped Geralt from taking odd jobs here and there, slaying beasts in Monster Hunter: World , or stabbing folks in Soul Calibur VI . Is Geralt getting adequate retirement benefits? Have witchers unioniz

How much say do developers have in their schedules?
I'm talking to Jake Birkett of Grey Alien Games, developer of Regency Solitaire and upcoming card-based RPG Shadowhand . "It occurred the day after I had done some kind of crunch until 5 am," he says. "I got up in the morning and crawled under my desk to switch the plugs on, and

A dreamy update!

Hello, Dads! We're all thrilled about the response to the game and want to thank you all sincerely for playing. Today's update should fix a lot of the issues we've had reported to us over the past week. Here are the changes...

Fixed inconsistency in mother/father choice during the intro. You know how forgetful Dads can be but that was a bit much.
Corrected other consistency errors based on player choices during the intro, especially during the cookout.
Fixed a variety of animation/character movement/transition bugs throughout the game.
Also fixed a handful of grammar, spelling, and dialogue issues throughout the game.
Fixed an issue that caused Joseph's twins to randomly reappear in the Diner in Craig's path. We're not always gonna be around to fight your battles for you, but this was a weird one. Those kids had to go.
Rebalanced choices related to Amanda so it should be easier to see her bad ending. Honestly we're not sure why you'd want to do that, it seems like you two have a nice relationship.
Quizzmaster Quinn is more talkative now.
Did some work in the backyard. The old tree is looking more idyllic than ever.
Adjusted texture settings, solving Daisy's weird pixelated appearance. She's a high-quality kid and doesn't deserve such low-quality treatment.
Tweaks and balancing for the Hugo Date 1 minigame.
Tweaks and balancing for the Brian date 1 minigame. A competitive Dad should get a reward for beating all 18 holes now.
Brand new, fully Dad minigame during Robert Date 2.
We apologize for any issues you've had playing the game and ask that you please report any bugs you encounter on the Support subforum of our Steam Discussions page and/or through our support email at [email protected]!
UPDATE
There was a bug in Hugo Date 3 causing the game to lock for some players. This has been found, fixed and patched!
