Meet the gang.Ĭreated by a popular group of Let’s Players (the colloquial name for YouTube’s game-vlogging community, usually abbreviated as LP), Dream Daddy is a choose-your-own-adventure dating game, with each dad embodying a hunky trope that takes you down a different narrative journey to romance.
