About This Game

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.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some backgrounds have been created with the help of generative AI, and then touched up manually. If I manage to find the budget for it, I'd love to commission an artist instead. (And if you're an artist who might have time and interest to contribute to this passion project, feel free to reach out!)

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game explores the relationship between two adults who has just become parents. That can be a challenging time. If you're sensitive about this topic or relationship hardships in general, consider if this game might not be for you.
