For example, the player character's cul-de-sac just happens to be populated with ridiculously attractive queer dads. I don't really see this as a bad thing though, because the game isn't trying to be dark or edgy instead it provides players with an escapist universe to explore. Some have criticized Dream Daddy for skirting around queer issues, and indeed homophobia and other problems faced by LGBT individuals seem to be entirely absent from its narrative. Most of the humor comes from smart pop culture references and jabs at typical dad culture, with fun mini-games such as a Pokemon battle style "brag-off" with a rival dad breaking up the visual novel structure. It had me laughing out loud on multiple occasions, but it never turns its queer dads into a punchline.

The player character and Amanda spend a lot of time joking around, but there are also some heartwarming moments where it's made clear how much they care about each other. At times she can seem almost too perfect-almost like a "manic pixie dream daughter", if you will-but it's hard to escape Amanda's charm. While Dream Daddy is a dating simulator, your most important relationship is with her. Of course, there's also your daughter Amanda, the real heart of the game. There is also a lively cast of supporting characters populating the game's small community of Maple Bay. Although each route is quite short-consisting of just three dates-the Daddies also make appearances in each other's stories, so you can gain a little more insight into their personalities with each playthrough. While I found some of the storylines better than others, I genuinely enjoyed getting to know each of the seven dads. After romancing all of the Daddies, it's hard to pick one favorite. While they might be no more than archetypes at first glance, all of the Daddies have an unexpected depth of character with their own quirks and flaws. While they might be no more than As soon as I heard the theme song for this game, I knew I had to buy it, and I wasn't disappointed.
