Infos zum Spiel

Immerse yourself in a text adventure about becoming a father! Get up, take care of your child, buy groceries, prepare dinner. Do nothing else. Repeat every day, because...

... You're a dad!

This is your child. It is your job to make sure he thrives, or at least survives. You can go skating, imaginary monster hunting, or just sleep the day away. The game reacts to your actions, so it really is possible. But should you?

(No, you shouldn't. Make good choices, okay?)

Navigate through all the endings!

Your family is coming for dinner. So not only do you have to be a dad - you also need to make food. You can make food. It's not that hard. Don't get lost in day dreams, going camping or starting a cat café. If your child starts reading philosophy, nip that in the bud before they get a PHD.

(Just be a responsible adult, please?)

Explore a really small world!

You can stay in your apartment. But if you need to make dinner, you might want to go to the store. In fact you should do that. Don't get sidetracked. Everything is fine. I trust you.

Offenlegung von KI-generierten Inhalten

Der Spieleentwickler beschreibt den Einsatz von KI-generierten Inhalten in diesem Spiel wie folgt:

In the current version of You're a dad some backgrounds have been initially created with the help of generative AI. I'm currently working with an artist to redraw all background illustrations, so in the near future no AI generated images will be in the game.
