comment
White Anglo-Saxon Protestant: The Christiansens evoke this stereotype, as they're implied to be an upper-middle-class white family whose patriarch is a youth minister. Joseph is nothing but welcoming to the player character, though, and is on good terms with the other dads in the neighborhood, but his home life leaves much to be desired.

Unexpected Gameplay Change
 Dream Daddy (Visual Novel) / int_1467a30c
comment
Unexpected Gameplay Change: This pops up several times throughout the games, mainly during dates. When you meet Brian in the park, the player character will enter a Pokémon battle with him when it comes to bragging about their daughters. It looks like a genuine Pokemon battle, sprites and all, and you have to use the 'Brag' and 'Item' commands to take down Brian's HP. In Brian's route, you'll have to play a tedious mini-golf game that relies on you hitting the ball off angled partitions in order to get it into the hole. There's an achievement for getting all holes in one. Also in Brian's route, there is a tile-matching game with fish during the second date. Damien's first date involves a puzzle-style assembly game. Hugo's route has you play a top-down arcade shooter on the first date as you repel penguins. The first date of Mat's route includes an Auto-Scrolling Frogger-esque minigame, with the goal of surviving to the end of the timer. An update added a minigame to the second date of Robert's route where the player uses a knife to "whittle" pieces of wood, and then tells Robert what the player thinks the resulting wood sculptures look like.

Heroes Love Dogs
 Dream Daddy (Visual Novel) / int_170cf4b6
comment
Heroes Love Dogs: Several characters are dog lovers, which helps establish the cul-de-sac as a friendly neighborhood with nice people. In particular, Brian and Robert have their own dogs (which the player character suitably fawns over). Dogs are even used to humanize seemingly jerkass characters like Mary and Ernest. Damien actually works with stray dogs at an animal shelter, which helps to humanize him as less of a pretentious Gothic oddball in addition to the rest of The Reveal. Later, one of Damien's shelter dogs helps bring together Hugo and his estranged son, who bond after adopting her.

 Dream Daddy (Visual Novel) / int_191a3673
comment
It's actually possible to win the Pokémon-esque "brag-off" between your player character and Brian about your daughters, but you have to choose a very specific sequence of commands. note First, use the "grade card" item. Then, use the "child art" item. Then, keep choosing "Brag", and you'll win, though your player character will still be frustrated, this time about Brian being a Graceful Loser.

Robert's good ending requires the player to make the correct choice very early in his route. The player must choose not to sleep with him. Otherwise, the player will be locked into his bad ending route.

Multiple Endings
 Dream Daddy (Visual Novel) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: A staple of this game's genre. Every dad has one Good Ending, and one Bad Ending. Which ending you find yourself in depends mostly on how you rank in the dates, and if you succeed a certain event in each route. Special mention goes to Robert, as he is the only dad to have three obtainable endings instead of two. Which ending you find yourself getting all depends on whether you sleep with him the first night you meet him, as doing so locks you into a route with only one outcome, no matter what you do, or what choices you make on the main route's third date, especially in regards to Robert's advances and emotional volatile state.

comment
Joseph's Death Ending, to get the "Panic! at the Disco" achievement. The two other Death Endings are fairly obvious in how to gain them, but Joseph's requires either trial-and-error, or a guide. You have to do a backflip in Joseph's second date, which will cause the MC to break his neck. However, you will only be able to succeed in doing so if you choose all of the worst-scoring dance moves possible, and then try to backflip. The combo needed is Worm, Windmill, Twerking, and finally Backflip.

The Ghost
 Dream Daddy (Visual Novel) / int_1ba17583
comment
The Ghost: Crish is possibly the most jarring example. Despite Joseph showing anxiety over his well-being at the barbecue and Mary having to deal with it, he never gets mentioned again, and likewise never makes an appearance. Ashley A.K.A "Smashley", Craig's ex-wife and an old college friend to the MC. She's brought up quite a few times during Craig's route, but she never actually makes an appearance. Hugo's ex-husband is an odd example. He's mentioned a few times in Hugo's route, but is never even given a name to work off of. Likewise to Ashley, he never makes an appearance in the story.

Ambiguously Brown: Enforced in Amanda, who retains the same physical characteristics regardless of the the ethnicity of the player character (as well as regardless of whether she is your biological or adoptive daughter). Robert and his daughter are ambiguously tan, with no other definite indicators of ancestry.

Older Than They Look: While none of the dads have a stated age, all of the dads have this to varying degrees. If you didn't know that they all seem to have at least one kid at or above the age of 10, it wouldn't be too hard to believe they're young adults at most. Downplayed with Robert, who does show a bit of age to him when compared to the other dads.

comment
Unintentionally Unwinnable: World's Okayest Dad, the achievement gained from experiencing Amanda's Bad Ending, was this with the game's initial release. It had the second lowest achievement rating out of all the achievements, second only to the one achievement that, at the time, was completely unobtainable by any means outside of cheating. The first Dream Daddy patch on July 30th, 2017, made this ending far easier to gain afterwards, though the devs poked fun at the players for wanting this ending to be easier to achieve.

Bittersweet Ending: It is possible to complete the dates with apparent success, yet not wind up dating the dad at the end. Even so, Amanda will comfort you, assuming you kept a good relationship. This is especially true in Joseph's route, where you don't end up with him regardless, and to a lesser extent in Robert's good ending, where he decides he's not ready to properly date anyone yet. Joseph can't just break up with his wife out of nowhere. He loves you, but he loves his family just as much, prompting him to stay with them in either of his endings.

Gameplay Grading: Each date is given a letter rank depending on how well you impressed your date by making the right choices and succeeding in the minigames. This is parodied in the piano minigame in Mat's third date, where the rank cycles between various forms of "S" before settling on one of them, regardless of your performance, because "doing your best deserves the highest rank, anyway".

Surprisingly Creepy Moment: Robert’s second date starts off fairly normal in the woods at night. He tries freaking you out by making up a story about him being in the woods alone with his dog. Suddenly, you both hear a disturbing howl from deep in the woods and see a figure in the distance. Not wanting to take any chances, both of you promptly hop back in his truck and drive home. This is one of the few creepy moments in the game, which is mostly focused on romance and comedy.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: At the beginning of Mat's first date, his final Dadbook post appears a split-second before Dadbook vanishes. Since it's too fast to read, you need to set the video in "slow-motion" before you can catch the post by pausing at just the right moment.

Meaningful Name

Meaningful Name: The youth pastor dad is called Joseph Christiansen. His wife is called Mary, and his children are called Chris, Christian, Christine and Crish. With a last name like 'Bloodmarch', it's inevitable that Damien would be a Goth. Though it's possible that he chose his last name when he transitioned. English teacher Hugo just had to name his son Ernest Hemingway.

Guide Dang It!
 Dream Daddy (Visual Novel) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: It's actually possible to win the Pokémon-esque "brag-off" between your player character and Brian about your daughters, but you have to choose a very specific sequence of commands. note First, use the "grade card" item. Then, use the "child art" item. Then, keep choosing "Brag", and you'll win, though your player character will still be frustrated, this time about Brian being a Graceful Loser. Robert's good ending requires the player to make the correct choice very early in his route. The player must choose not to sleep with him. Otherwise, the player will be locked into his bad ending route. Joseph's Death Ending, to get the "Panic! at the Disco" achievement. The two other Death Endings are fairly obvious in how to gain them, but Joseph's requires either trial-and-error, or a guide. You have to do a backflip in Joseph's second date, which will cause the MC to break his neck. However, you will only be able to succeed in doing so if you choose all of the worst-scoring dance moves possible, and then try to backflip. The combo needed is Worm, Windmill, Twerking, and finally Backflip.

Non Standard Game Over: Brian, Craig, and Joseph have these in the form of Death Endings. These outcomes primarily only happen by choosing the obvious bad answer. Joseph's, however, isn't quite as easy. These endings each have an achievement corresponding to them, and will bring the player back to just before they messed up, with the obvious bad choice no longer listed as an option.

Story Branching: Robert is the only dad in the game that has two, completely different routes. Depending on whether or not you sleep with him the first night, if you decide to go out to the bar during Amanda's sleepover, his three dates will end up different. Coincidentally, the route and ending you get if you sleep with Robert the first night is considered by the game to be the "No Romance" route/ending.

Informed Flaw: Your character will express envy over Craig's physique and laments how little he exercises, even if you designed him to be absolutely stacked. However, it's worth noting that even the fairly muscular build you can choose is still somewhat lanky when compared to Craig's body and the main character has a tendency for self deprecation.

There Is Only One Bed: Or moreso "There is Only One Sleeping Bag," this trope happens on Craig's third date. The MC discovers right when the two were ready to call it a night on their first night camping that he forgot to pack another sleeping bag. The MC volunteers to sleep on the floor, while Craig takes the sleeping bag, but Craig insists he's fine with sharing. This occurrence is the catalyst that causes Craig and the MC to admit their mutual attraction to one another.

Shout-Out
 Dream Daddy (Visual Novel) / int_c75df49a

Shout-Out: Among the options available to drink with Mat are "Iced Tegan & Sara", "Godspeed You! Black Coffee" and "Chai Antwoord". You can name the banana bread he offers you "Banana Bread Kennedys", "Grateful (Banana) Bread", or "Right Said Banana Bread." The store Dead, Goth and Beyond is a clear nod to Bed, Bath and Beyond and Hot Topic. Dadbook is a play on Facebook. The achievements for going on all dates with Robert and Brian are called "Knife Dad" and "Soft Boy" respectively. Mat's is "King of Carrot Flowers" and Damien's is "Interview with the Vampire". The achievement for dying on Joseph's second date is called Panic! at the Disco. While on the first date with Joseph, you can prompt Christian and Christie to repeat classic Creepy Twins lines from movies like The Shining and Children of the Corn. The reality TV shows that Amanda and the player watch are all parodies of real shows, most notably Ice Road Truckers. To Ernest Hemingway: Hugo's son's name is Ernest Hemingway Vega. Hugo himself is an English teacher, and takes his class on a field trip to the aquarium because they're having a discussion on The Old Man and the Sea. Brian makes a reference to Ernest Hemingway when discussing a large fish he caught once. There are a number of My Chemical Romance references. The player character asks if Damien's father took him to the city to see a marching band. Damien doesn't get the joke. Lucien also listens to the band, and his first appearance has the player character describe him as a "low rent Gerard Way". On Damien's first date, one of the options for a flower's meaning is "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge!" During Character Creation, there are options that make your character look like Goku. Mario Batali is mentioned as the player character's celebrity crush, and at one point he calls on his spirit to help him bake brownies. Mary's map of the neighborhood also calls Brian "Mario Batali." The vinyl store Mat frequents is called Vinyl Fantasy VII. The Death Endings have a reference to a notoriously difficult video game series. The message, "Welcome. You've got Dads!" is a pun on the America Online quip, "Welcome. You've got mail!" On Robert’s third date, you and Robert join a ghost tour. You can make up a name based on which reference you make. For example, the 80’s reference gives you Loomis. The song that the Dadsona plays during Open Mic Night is called [[Star Trek: The Original Series "Beam Me Up, Ska-tty"note although the original quote was never said in the series.

Magnetic Hero
 Dream Daddy (Visual Novel) / int_d0f63e83
comment
Magnetic Hero: The MC seems to have this trait, if you don't consider it to simply be a gameplay design decision to make sure none of the dads are any harder to romance over the others. All of the dads seem to show an immediate interest and/or fondness towards the MC, and most of the dads even have interactions before the dating starts to gain bonus points with them right off the bat. Brian has one instance of being able to score bonus points before Dadbook, in the form of the various answers you can give after you get hit in the face by his Frisbee. He also immediately starts to gush about his daughter's achievements, which the MC takes as Brian boasting, but pursuing Brian reveals he didn't try to invoke challenges with the MC, and in fact did so mostly to try and impress the MC. Craig is notable, as he contains an instance that has the chance for a significant amount of bonus points in the form of the gym event, that you can trigger if you didn't go to the bar, or didn't sleep with Robert if you did go to the bar. Possibly justified, as Craig has known the MC before the other dads, and there are various hints throughout the game, his route in particular, that imply that Craig may have had a crush on the MC since college. Damien is one of the few dads that can't gain bonus points with the MC before Dadbook. Justified, however, as your first meet with him outside of the Barbecue is simply the MC overhearing Damien complaining to the "Dead, Goth and Beyond" employee over the authenticity of their products. Hugo is another notable one, as while it isn't possible to score a large amount of bonus points before Dadbook, Hugo will always have a point bonus over the other dads, while the others have a chance of failure. You have no choice but to meet him before the Barbecue, due to the Parent-Teacher Conference, and you always leave with him gaining hearts after the MC makes a joke on "The Catcher in the Rye." Joseph, like Damien, doesn't have any chances to gain bonus points before Dadbook. Possibly justified though, as Joseph is the only dad to actually be married in the game, even if his marriage is an unhappy one. It doesn't exactly stop him from casually flirting with the MC beforehand, though. Mat is rather casual when compared to the others, but still has a noticeable example with the first meeting. No matter what menu item you choose, Mat will gain points, but there is a chance to lose those points in what name you recommend to Mat for his banana bread. However, there's more choices in favor of the MC gaining more points, and the fact Mat decided to ask this question (as well as give free banana bread) to two people he just met (the MC and Amanda,) gives shades of some sort of attraction. Robert is possibly the most obvious with how many bonus points he can gain. The bar meeting seems to have the most chances to gain positive points over all of the other dads, and even Neil, the bartender, remarks that Robert's friendliness towards the MC is out of character, saying that "He must like you." The fact he even vaguely offers the MC a one-night stand can further the idea of attraction, though accepting the offer actually has negative impact on his character and his route.

No one's sexuality is explicitly stated, but some (Robert, Mat, Joseph and Craig) have been or are married to women. Hugo is the only one to mention an ex-husband. Brian and Damien's past love lives are never mentioned in the game.

All Girls Want Bad Boys
 Dream Daddy (Visual Novel) / int_db2f3581
comment
All Girls Want Bad Boys: It's a same-sex relationship, but Robert's route is based around the attraction to the "bad boy" (or bad dad, in this case). Actually deconstructed, however — in his good ending, Robert will admit that he's not in a good place emotionally for a relationship despite his mutual attraction with the player character, and resolves to improve his situation first while keeping the possibility of a relationship in the future.

Awful Wedded Life
 Dream Daddy (Visual Novel) / int_deecc9eb
comment
Awful Wedded Life: Joseph and Mary Christiansen, the only married couple in the game, are very obviously unhappy with each other. They rarely speak without arguing in some way, and Joseph admits that a large part of why they're still together is for the kids. For all her drinking and flirting, Mary's never cheated on him, while Joseph has slept with Robert in the past.

Romancing the Widow: You are the widower in question. Your spouse passed away some time before the beginning of the game. Mat and Robert are also widowers.

Dog Stereotype
 Dream Daddy (Visual Novel) / int_ead9bc9
comment
Dog Stereotype: Invoked. Robert pretends that his dog Betsy is a vicious pitbull in line with his "bad dad" image, but on his third date you learn that she's actually a very sweet Boston terrier. Similarly, Robert is not as bad as his own appearance suggests.note You can meet Betsy on Damien's second date, but Robert pretends that she's not his dog. Brian's corgi is adorable, energetic, and friendly. The Duchess Cordelia, a mastiff, is similarly friendly, as well as very intelligent.

One-Steve Limit: Averted with a vengeance in the Emmas (Emma P., Emma R., and Emma S.), Amanda's friends whom even the player character has a difficult time keeping track of. There's also Chris, Christie, Christian, and Crish Christiansen.

Food Porn: The dinner Craig cooks for you while camping. Perfectly seared steaks cooked with thyme and ginger and basted with butter, potatoes roasted with olive oil and rosemary, and salad greens sprinkled with feta. And s'mores, because of course.

While on the first date with Joseph, you can prompt Christian and Christie to repeat classic Creepy Twins lines from movies like The Shining and Children of the Corn.
