There wasn't enough kissing. Is that a spoiler? Cute backstories for the daddies and overall enjoyable stories. No, I have not played the game.

Even if you have never played Dream Daddy, which apparently a computer game of some kind, you can still read this, the way I did, as some cute love stories between different dads that make up this community.
The stories are all PG. There is nothing that is sensational or pornographic. These are all sweet, funny, cute stories about dads that live in the same community and interact with each other.
In this volume there were five short stories, written by the games creators, and who would know their characters better than they would.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

I have been hearing about the dream daddy app , i was happy when i found out there's a comic about the characters.
All the stories in here are cute, my favorite was Let the right dad in ( its cringey cute ). Every story has a different artist which gives the stories their own unique vibe.
An interesting comic i recommend for warm fuzzy feelings.

I liked the first issue, the rest of them were kind of weird and hard to follow. It didn’t feel like there was a cohesive storyline.
I played the game a year or two ago and had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the first story here and thought I was on the way to a 5-star read. But… it ended up a 2.
The stories got a bit too silly and the artwork wasn’t my cup of tea for most of the stories. Also, beyond the first story, there was no dating to speak of, which was disappointing.
Conceptually I liked that each story had a different art style, but I was expecting artwork similar to the game, so when they style departed significantly, it took me out of the story and it didn’t feel like Dream Daddy anymore. The covers by Kris Anka were gorj though.
Contributing to the very UN-Dream Daddy feel, beyond the first story, none of the characters had any distinct personality except Damien, and that was less about personality and more to do with his dialogue style.
For me, the first story was a 4 but the rest were 2s or 3s, and the artwork ranges from 1 to 4, with a 5 for Kris Anka’s covers. Not recommended for fans of the game or new readers.

Adorable.
A collection of short tie-in stories for the dating sim Dream Daddies where you play as a new dad to the neighbourhood getting to know other single dads. The setting and stories are cheesy and adorable and tropey and queer and fantastic. Everyone’s living happy, functional solo-dad lives. Their kids are different ages and the parenting isn’t sidelined, it’s a part of the setting and characters and we get to see them facing parenting challenges (e.g. the competitiveness in Fair Deal) and mostly winning at being supportive, caring dads while still being themselves. It’s refreshingly non-toxic and sweet.
There’s very little on-page romance in this collection, it’s much more about fun side adventures with the characters than about them hooking up. It’s probably deliberate so as not to crowd the game content too much.
I haven’t played the game, but I didn’t find that hindered my enjoyment of the stories or understanding of the characters, setting and interactions. I may have to check out the game now because I really loved this gang. Brian is my fave.
I liked that the art styles changed each story and found I enjoyed all of them. My favourites were Much Abird About Nothing and Dungeons & Daddies.
The only rough patch for me was Let the Right Dad In, which I think needed a bit more context for Robert than I, as a non-player had.
A shamelessly cute and fun jaunt!
