Dream Daddy

This has not been updated since 2019, so it will probably not work with modern versions of Android and current devices. I get a black screen upon launch, and it will not load. No amount of troubleshooting will change this. Running it in an emulator with an older version of Android does work, so it really does just need to be updated.

I have been interested in this game for a long time and I was excited when it became available for mobile. The game played with no errors on my Galaxy S10 and I thought the 3 dates allowed as a demo were very generous. It was plenty of play time to confirm the game performed well on my phone and give me a feel for the play. I already knew the art and story were quite good. Generally it's a pretty good product, pretty good but not perfect. Overall I'm not satisfied with this game. My main complaint is: there is no SAVE/LOAD functionality! It's unbelievable but you can't back up if you make a wrong choice and let's be blunt here: not only might you sometimes mis-click on a choice, sometimes a dialog prompt might not mean what you think it does. Not being able to take back a mistake is a deal breaker for me. Additionally, while the stories seem pretty good the game is certainly not without any rough spots still. I did Robert's path and on the third date something went very wrong suddenly. Now I realize it was maybe just a case of not having scored well enough at that point to progress further, but the tone change went from quite good to being kicked out of his house, and in the final scene my character reamed him for not calling his daughter, referencing a dialog which DID NOT HAPPEN. So either the fail state for that ending is very awkwardly put together, or a scene got skipped due to some linking error. Whatever the cause it was jarring and unsatisfying. I'm now not inclined to fork over the $15 to actually buy the game on this platform, which I fully intended to do as soon as I finished one demo play through.

It's a cute idea for a game and always great to see lgbtq content. However, like others mention you're only getting a quick demo of the actual game. The story you're required to read (or fast forward) through is very time consuming and not super thrilling. Once you start interacting with people other than your daughter it gets a bit more interesting, but the outcome of your "decisions" seems totally random. There's really not a way to influence the storyline too much. Great animation though!
