Dream Daddy will make you feel good even though it's ambivalent about the queer culture which it sits on. Dan Avidan makes a cameo appearance in the Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Comic Book Issue03 'Dream Ad-y', alongside Arin Hanson. I was smiling for pretty much my entire time playing, and it always felt like a positive game. Dan Avidan is the voice actor for Robert Small in the visual novel game Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator. Despite that, what is there is great-the characters are diverse, well designed, and smartly written. Dream Daddy is a kind game with funny writing and uplifting themes, but neglects the greater issues it alludes to.
These issues are conspicuous in their absence. The core message of open love between family, friends, and partners is effective, but the game avoids its sex scenes and the minefield of finding other queer folk in a predominantly heterosexual society. All the dads here just are queer in some way-and that’s that. The game unfortunately skirts around the cultural climate of queer politics and only gives brief mentions to the struggles of single parents, the innately queer relationships here aren’t even discussed. Love one another, respect one another, and forge healthy relationships where friends aren’t afraid to ask for help, lend a hand, or just say “I love you.” That’s the core message, but here where the dad dating theme actually detracts, as it takes precedence over other issues. It sounds corny, but that’s the draw of Dream Daddy and it’s where it succeeds.
