About You're a dad

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. Each run remembers what you've learned. What you do today may change what you find tomorrow. But should you do those things?

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

It's just one day. What could go wrong?

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?)

Small world. Big consequences.

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.

(Something's off? Doing something about it? No, not worth it. Just ignore it. Yes, that's for the best.)
