The verdict
A funny, charming, good-looking gay dad dating visual novel with likable characters and a sweet daughter story. It's short and shallow on romance, so skip it if you want depth or spice.
Great for
Fans of silly, wholesome visual novels, dad jokes and character-driven routes
Main risk
Only three short dates per route, so it feels shallow and short for the price
What players love
Likable, varied dateable dads
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 positive reviews

Ugly, limited dad creator
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 negative reviews
