I think a lot of people are because the games tend to hinge around you gaming the NPCs to reap some kind of reward. You take the character who likes animals on a date…

Children, gather round, for I have a tale to tell. A tale of wonder, intrigue, mystery and astonishment! Are we ready? Let me begin."Once upon a time there was a week when the Steam charts were slightly different to every other week since the dawn of time..."
THERE ARE HOT SINGLE DADS IN YOUR AREA JUST BEGGING FOR A DATE! No, seriously, there are: Dream Daddy [official site] is out now, and you're a dad trying to date other hot dads.It's got a branching narrative, multiple endings, and a total of seven date-able dads. And with all those dad comes lots of dad jokes, naturally, which I'm always in favour of ("Are you ready? Hi ready, I'm…
I only found out about the dad dating sim, Dream Daddy [official site] a few weeks ago when a friend brought it to my attention as we paddled in the freezing sea and toasted a wedding. Look, that is just how we roll - do not question my lifestyle choices. ANYWAY. The point of Dream Daddy is that you are a dad romancing other hot…
