VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Dating My Daughter [Ch. 1-4 v1.01] [MrDots Games]

The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on is v0.17 Chapter 2...

The writing in chapter 2 is on par with chapter 1 but there is a bit of a continuity shift as well as some other inconsistencies between the two chapters that I'll get into... Obviously, being that this is a continuing story from Chapter 1, it revolves primarily around the over used Family Sex stuff...

The visuals of the characters are pretty much the same as in chapter 1, and look very well done... The daughter's model is used a lot in other visual novel/games, which is either a pro or a con, depending on the player/reader... The backdrops are all unique looking... The animations, although short and a bit sterile, look fluid and are visually good...

The script is pretty spot on, as you rarely run into any spelling/grammar errors... The plot revolves primarily around the protagonist father and his daughter, with some occasional choices made for other characters here and there... It is a continuation of Chapter 1, and plays out mostly as a love/romance story between the protagonist and his daughter, as well as other optional women... There are both visible and hidden stats, mostly involving the daughter...

The save files between my prior play through of v0.15 and this version do not appear to be compatible as it throws errors until Ren'py actually shuts down... And for some reason I could not get this version to import stats from my prior Chapter 1 play through, as I did with v0.15... No matter what I tried, I ended up having to manually enter stats and info during a new play through of Chapter 2, which was a bit disappointing...

I found some issues between the two chapters, that although not completely immersion breaking, they do have me a bit concerned about continuity between the two chapters... Such as the fact that the daughter still seems extremely insecure about her sexuality and is still pretty much unsure about her ability to make her father happy... Even though they have had full sexual intercourse in chapter 1, yet never in chapter 2 so far... It's almost like chapter 2 has takes several steps backwards with regards to the protagonist and her relationship...

Plus, how many times does he need to reassure her over and over and over again about just talking to him about sex and questions related to it (it is even still occurring in chapter 2) before she just feels comfortable enough to do so? They've had sex, and he has brought her to orgasm enough times, that you'ld think that much of her sexual insecurity would be disappearing in chapter 2... But all the way to the end of chapter 2's current content, she is still completely insecure in her mind... Chapter 2 sort of seems to be playing out like they've yet to have sexual intercourse, which they already did in Chapter 1... I don't want to say the author's are milking their fan base for money, but it is slightly leaning that way...

Now, the story with his involvement with the Studio and working on finding a way to somehow get out of country gets teased a few times, and in a couple different ways in this content... Which sounds interesting, but it really hasn't gone anywhere yet... There was mention of perhaps the protagonist finding something against his ex-wife and there was a hint that perhaps something underhanded might be going on with the ex-wife and her new man, but it's been all teasing up to this point... Now, in the end of this current content for chapter 2, there was discussion that they perhaps might just be trying to leave before going down that road? Obviously there are lots of sub-plots being hinted at...

Mostly chapter 2 has been about setting up sub-plots here and there, but it's also been about more relationship building between various women characters and the protagonist... Which, depending on choices, could complicate things even more as the story progresses...

Chapter 1 was a very long and fun visual novel/game, with just a few twists and sub-plots, but it was mostly about relationship building, sexual encounters with various characters, the daughter coming to terms with her own sexuality, and so on... But chapter 2 has stepped back on the daughters sexual awakening a bit, even though she is learning new sex related things, her mental attitude and growth seems to have regressed a small bit from chapter 1, and even when it seems to be growing in this chapter, it doesn't seem to be growing as fast as it should, based on all that she's experienced so far... Guess we'll need to wait and see how it progresses...

Overall, I still find the author/s writing style and story telling fun to read... And at first, the content of this new chapter was progressing at a similar pace to chapter 1, but when you finally get to more content between the daughter and the protagonist, it feels like it's not where it should be, based on what's occurred so far... I still enjoyed my play through of the current content... In comparison to one another, thus far Chapter 1 is still better then Chapter 2...

When I reached the end of Chapter 1 last year, the cliff hanger was completely unexpected, and frankly it annoyed me, as it felt like a huge cuckold move to make... And as long as it was, now that we're on to Chapter 2, I do have some slight fears about the whole stories plans... Will we ever see a happy ending for the protagonist and his daughter, or will this story go on for years, with new chapters just continuing the story without end? Chapter 2 is pretty much progressing at the same pace as Chapter 1 did, which means it will be most likely just as lengthy... Will it be the last chapter? Or will we be led on and on with new chapters? If that is indeed the case, that we have several more years of content to look forward to, then I will most likely just stop reading it... Because I don't like my emotions being toyed with, just so someone can milk a story for money... If that is what is going on?

In any case, will I revisit this one? Based on my save file issues, I will most likely wait a very long while for this Chapter to get closer to it's finish, before I revisit it... Because I really truly hate having to start from scratch and/or have to jump through hoops to get back to where I was... I do plan to revisit it, no matter what... Mostly because I have the need to see how this whole story ends for the protagonist and his daughter... But I'm not going to keep doing it piece mail... Better just to wait...

Someone beeing able to write/develop such a warmhearted novel - triggering a hughe range of strong positive emotions with it (happiness, hope, blissfullness, love, ...) leads me to the thought "D and the whole DmD project is for sure nothing less than kind of MrDots baby" He simply can't and never will let his "baby" get harmed. Looking forward to all updates even if it may take a while

This game as a really good story, it's not just a perv game (like those those where you have sex with every girls in less than 15 minutes) to gain the trust of "D" and over girls you'll have first to to be a gentleman. And the graphics are very good. Hope for future updates !

Good porn game with hot girls. slow burn but with lots of "sidequests". Looking forward to more updates. altough the naivite of some of the characters are a bit unrealistic. The animation and models are great looking, and you get a sense that you can control and direct the story yourself. A great looking game

Version 0.16 Chp. 2

I love it. An awesome game, which takes the time to introduce the characters and develop the story. Lovable girls and great situations. It might be slow, and less a great game with the only purpose to fap, but story and characters are nearly on the top right now.

Gimme more !

* Started off strong but will limp across the finish line *

Storyline - 6/10 - The first few days of the story are ok, they feel like the dev actually thought about what a real human might do in this situation (excluding the obvious tendency to lust after anything with a vagina) Game over if you make a single mistake is very annoying.
As the relationship develops it becomes less and less believable and more like watching an 80's porno where you cant even remember why your characters are fucking anymore

Pacing - 6/10 - slow at first but seems to get a bit carried away toward the end. Feels more natural than most

Renders - 8/10 - Clean and simple, most images are the same with different expressions or slight variations of poses, as you would expect from a first person view.

Character design - 7/10 - Daughter is attractive if a bit obvious, other females are questionable as to whether they were attempts to squeeze lollicon into the game.

Overall this is one of the better games but as always room for improvement. Basically a linear storyline with very minor changes based on player choices so dont worry too much about what you do once you get past the first few days.

Great game with an actualy story to tell, alot better than 90% of the other games in creation at the moment, the reason is also that this game doesnt go direct from meeting main heroin to fucking her!

The game's plot makes you fall in love with the daughter easily, You might think that it's just another game with sex scenes, but the love between the main protagonist and the daughter is something that keeps you going in this game. I've tried many different dating routes and all are interesting to play and it's something different with this game.

Here I am, rating this masterpiece. Before rating it I needed to check if I rated it before.. I did not?! How is that possible? It is such great game that It needs my rating and I need to write positive things about it! This game is superb in plot making, game lenght. The only thing which is still getting better and better are renders. Player almost can see with naked eye how it gets better with new updates. It is one of not many games which I must play! If you came just for fapping material then there are better options.

v.18 chp 2

I hope that this game will have 100 parts at most, and 99 at least. I would seriously be disappointed if devs did not finish this beauty but sped up its ending becouse they focus their attention on Melody.. shame that you cannot decide which game to be patreon of becouse those devious devs keep one page on patreon. I would it to be this games couse I wish to see it finished and to get super kinky after sex with D.. but it might not happen and in some fast way they would end this game. Seriously do not do THat! Becouse it is still an introduction into real game! Which await for Us when we have sex with D and all our relationships come to light of day.. How many will we be able to keep and which one will wave their flag of defeat? Where will we live and with Whom? Model Coworker, doughter friends and many more..

In this update it is somewhat rushed, the pace of this game but in a good way becouse harem route will go off at full swing. Hopefully

This game was my introduction into adult visual novels (or whatever genre this falls under) and it has remained a favorite. Its plot branching has grown more complex with each update, which can annoy those who want to follow every storyline, but this is not nearly as opaque and confusing as in many other prominent games (e.g., Big Brother). DMD also stands out as having 3D renders that actually look close to anatomically human, and far enough outside the uncanny valley that you don't get the creeps while fapping. While the game is insanely popular, the creators seem to have channelled their high project earnings into a better playing experience. It's worth the hype.

My favourite adult game on the internet hands down. Dating My Daughter has a fantastic story, great visuals, and awesome sex scenes (so far). While the only small gripe I have is the length between updates, I'm not paying for this game, so I can deal with it.

The daughter model looks hot...story is good. wish I could also bone the boss lady (maybe in future update~would be a nice threesome option with buddy friend). Everything is solid, would highly recommend!

I spent a lot of time playing this game, so I like it. There is a lot of heaviness especially in a chic restaurant. Some events that produce too quickly. In particular some incestuous events. I invite you however to try this game.

This is one of the few games to really grip my attention on here. I thought the writing was really fantastic and the slow burn with the pacing. The relationship you form with your daughter felt genuine and really resonated with me. Only thing I didn't like was the NTR element.

Was my start in this genre and seems to be a lucky choice since I still found nothing that can stick with this game.

The art is good ... but the heart-warming story is even better. It's not like the straightforward games where all is needed is a smile, a joke and some peeping to get you princess. Corruption goes slowly, but see enough progress to not lose interest. And there's alot to corrupt - in contrast to most other games, D is a real innocent beauty.

Some lovely ladies right and left the street helping you out so you can endure the pain not banging D the moment she's pressing her funbags against you while french kissing her.

While the plot is somewhat interesting, the pace of the game is just too damn slow. You have to read through repetite text walls that make scenes drag on forever (the casino scenes is the worst offender) and the game almost becomes a massage simulator. Girls look and act as if they were 12 years old with an absurd naievety for an 18 y/o girl. The game also gives you choices only to punish you with a game over. You can get a game over from a choice you made two updates prior without any foreshadowing, forcing you to replay the game from that point, or even from the start, if you didn't have an earlier save.
It's interesting enough to keep coming back to it to see what happens but in terms of visuals Dreams of Desire is much better and Good Girl Gone Bad gives this a run for it's money when it comes to choices and story developement.

Possibly the funniest out there, really enjoy the writing and the way the characters are modeled has very good taste. Personally the best in these genre really. Could use some audio here and there. -Bb

Top notch work here from MrDots. Captivating story of a man rediscovering himself & his love for the daughter that has been separated from him, the incest component not withstanding. The animations and visuals are some of the best in the genre imho, while complimenting an extremely well written story & great interaction between characters. It's a rare game that makes me want to jump through the screen and end someone, but this one did. Highly recomended.

This is by far, my most favorite VN that I've played.
Ever since the very first version of the game, D already got my interest!
The character design is pretty nice and deep at this point.
Even tho indeed the game has slow progression, I got used to, and I expect it to be that way in each update, since besides the sex, it has a lot of story around. (Not that I want more action more frequently).
This game made my care about the characters more than any other.

This review was made after playing V0.15

The CG's in this game are just terrible!
The girls looks like 12yo and they are ugly af, except for the daughter and the secretary.
The pace is also way too slow.
Animations was just images loops so nothing impressive.
I wish i could give it a 0/5 =/
