But there’s nothing quite that bad in this one. In some of the other games where you play a woman, a bad ending could end in the death of your romantic interest or you could be raped. In those narratives, there are usually good endings (happily ever afters) and bad endings.

The text would come up on the game, feed into the translator, and hopefully I’d get some readable text. Now, I’ve played some Japanese visual novels before using all manner of computer rigging, such as running a translator program simultaneous with the games. It’s been tough to find these sorts of games for women to play in English – where you play a woman and pick from a host of men to romance – and while this isn’t exactly that, I’ll take it. From left to right: Robert, Damien, Craig, Joseph, Mat, Hugo, Brianīefore we get to the game, a note about these sorts of dating sims and visual novels. There’s pretty much a dad for everyone! Right from the start, I knew my first dad pursuit was going to be Damien.

Joseph – preppy dad who has four children, a wife, and is a youth minister.

Robert – bad dad who wears a leather jacket and hanging out at the local bar.

Damien – goth dad! It was also confirmed on Twitter that Damien is transgender.

Brian – the burly redheaded dad with a corgi.

Hugo – dapper dad who happens to be your daughter’s teacher.

Craig – athletic, bro dad who has the cutest little baby.

Mat – hipster dad with tattoos and a love of baking and coffee.

In Maple Bay, there are seven dads available to romance: In the game, you play a single dad with a teen daughter named Amanda (she’s way cooler than me) who just moved to the small town of Maple Bay.

If you’ve been on Twitter over the past month, you might have seen tweets and photos about the dad-dating simulator Dream Daddy, created by Game Grumps and written by Vernon Shaw and Leighton Gray.
