Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator Review - #FeBOOary

Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator Review - #FeBOOary

Author: Andrew Bascom and Mikey Ehrenworth February 7, 2023 Duration: 1:23:33

This week we return to the scariest month of the year (FeBOOary) with a look at Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator!

It turns out there was a miscommunication with the theme of our podcast this month, so instead of playing scary games we're spending the next few weeks focusing on romance in gaming!

It turns out "Boo" can mean more than one thing!

We may not have had any clue about the premise of Dream Daddy before jumping in with both feet, but BOY do we know now.

It's been a while since either of us have played a dating sim. Will this be the one to capture our hearts and minds?

Remember those games you spent hours on as a kid, the ones that felt like perfect worlds? The Retrograde: A Video Game Podcast is a weekly conversation between hosts Andrew Bascom and Mikey Ehrenworth that digs into exactly that feeling. They don't just offer a simple review; instead, they revisit the titles that defined a generation-both the celebrated classics and the notorious flops-to ask a tougher question. With the clarity of adulthood, do these childhood favorites actually hold up? The discussion naturally blends personal nostalgia with a critical eye, often wandering into related pop culture from film and TV, all delivered with a casual, comedic tone. Listening to this podcast feels like hanging out with friends who share your specific, deep-cut gaming memories, debating whether that legendary 10/10 score was ever truly earned or if it's time for a more honest reassessment. It's less about definitive rankings and more about the fun and sometimes painful process of looking back.
