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

DMD is probably one of the first games many people started with and many had high hopes throughout the many years of development.
Sadly it turned out to be one of those games that were unnecessarily dragged incredibly long until the pond was dry.

The game started off pretty well, but looking back at it, even the first 2 episodes aged terribly and felt grindy.
The Dev totally lost the plot and his mind at ch.3, when he turned this in to another generic shitty porn game and added nonsense fetishes to it and made the daughter a brainless slut.

The writing and dialogues got worse and worse as the game progressed and you could feel that the Devs didn´t give a shit anymore and just milked their cashcow for years until it was dead.
I think looking at this game shows how far games have come, because DMD is a 2-Star game at best and everything about the game aged terribly.

This is one of the longest and most incredible VN I have played. You can feel that a lot of care went to the writing of this romance story, with plenty of development, turns, places, interesting characters, and many emotions. The long road of awkwardly interacting with your daughter to the full passion that blossoms between father and daughter is fantastic and very well paced, despite being a tad too long. The models are beautiful, the many different choices and branches are sure to give you plenty of replay. The game is filled with great scenes with many different characters, all of them taking care to work well with the narrative you are immersed in. The ideal is to take your time with the game and not rush it, but actually savor the story, because it is well worth it. Dating My Daughter is definitely a game to recommend, and I am glad that I was recommended to try it. But the walkthrough is necessary, some things do branch out quite a bit in later moments.

After countless ages of waiting for last chapter .....

Went from a easy 4+/5 too 3/5
it feels rushed and low effort and totally kills off any interest of replay or positive feel to it (and I already knew much was cut etc... for easing use of patreon or w/e which should have improved the next issue but instead does opposite since it would have helped..)
Last chapter is regardless of anything including solo love to her she is massively corrupt (other then a couple story moments which then feel less fitting from how corrupt she is ie sex addict and public etc...) and any attempt at story is almost non existent any ways..
All choices even feel like the maker is slapping you across the face because you choose anything but what maker intended and you get whatever option maker wanted any ways.... with it often even basically saying no you cant choose that that bad here is a preachy things saying how this is the option you really wanted....
There are only 2 things that can actually be influenced at this point and 1 is just clearly tossed on for those wanting that scene (totally random threesome with a certain woman if you choose you as daughter were ok kissing before...) and if you did not get pregnant choice previous chapter you can here which feels you really really do want to do since she crys etc... a lot for it though really only pay off is a pic of a few years later.


Sex is great
(though many the optional side ones are hit or miss and feel many were tacked on or just because you may not do them were left all too often motionless).


Any ways really sucks that after years it ended god awful and would strongly advise either skipping last chapter or just enjoy it for the fap.

Mr. Dots Magnum Opus, the game that started it all. I can't believe it is finally complete, after seven long years. Following this project was great fun, but how does it fare as a full, complete game?

Porn wise: it's pretty good. If you want to watch models getting it on, get on they do, a lot.

Story wise: The first two chapters are a very slow burn, the other two are devoid of any tension or build up. It is indeed porn, no more no less.

Character wise: the mc is the mc of literally every other porn game: an exceptionally well endowd, well-behaved, in good shape, thirthy something years old man that has no socond thought about fucking his daughter and all her friends, with the possibility of sharing her with his own friends. Great for porn but bad for suspension of disbelief.

Personal experience: the project was milked so hard and lasted so long that I got married and had a daughter of my own, which SURPRISE SURPRISE made this game lose most of its charm.

I recently played this visual novel game and had mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the characters were well-developed and I found myself invested in their stories. However, the overall plot was somewhat predictable and didn't offer many twists or turns. The art style was nice, but the animation could have been smoother. I also experienced a few bugs while playing, but they didn't significantly impact my enjoyment of the game. Overall, I would give this game a 3/5 star rating. It was a decent visual novel experience, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations.

Mommy, It's Over!

5 years stretch is over since Dating My Daughter is finished.

Story might be silly (it's silly on many other games too) but as long as it works it works, graphics might not be top notch but don't need to be since those are good enough.

Since story is about father and daughter fucking like duracell bunnies this game isn't for everyone.

Game has enough kinks like loli and bdsm (mild) that many get their share of content, also game has different paths to play like monogamy path with daughter only up to full harem path.

Game's multiple endings depend what options are active and whatnot.

This is 1 of best incest game.

it was amazing at the beginning but then game went to vanilla story which makes it nothing special than tons of other games of this genre.
If you wanna see swinger club event with no swinging. Side characters which start to have plot which will be abandoned for later - thats the game for you!

For a VN to be truly good it either need amazing renders, an engaging plotline or great gamplay.

Renders: This VN started very early. Fair to say a lot of us joined this Website because of DmD. It is unfortunate that Renders this not evolve with the time. In 2016 there was nothing else like it. Now It is subpar. So many Dev does this better nowadays

Story: The plot had an interesting albeit unoriginal begining. Faceless big cock MC see his daughter for the first time after a few years. Hijinks Mary Sue plotline ensue and he not only seduce her but all her friends and many more. there is no real choice, not moment that can change the outcome. in the end the only difference is how many pussy do MC pound daily. mutiply that by 2 for pregnant/not-pregnant. That's your 15 endings. That's not really a spoiler as the road is a flat and predictable as Kansas.

Gameplay: Same as renders, gameplay has not evolved since 2016 and since nothing really impact the story the whole point system, the whole corruption system doesn't do anything. You'll hit those mark everytime on the exact same beat. This should be redesignated a kinetic novel instead of VN.

The game was great overall and I'm glad they finished it unlike other devs. However, I am pretty disappointed with Ch4 and how unrewarding it was regarding the choices we made:
- any real content with bdsm, anal, feet, bj, etc is missing.
- the other girls got completely neglected and there's very little content with them, even less pose/kink variation than with D.
- I don't feel like there were any real branching paths with different content.
- there could have been so many more kinks and fetishes added to the game gated by choices for the non-enjoyers (beastiality, pissing, humiliation, actual bdsm, rape etc.).

So one of the longest running adult VN's finally ends

3 years and 2 chapters late

Dev's changed direction halfway through development and what once was a great game winded up in a slow dying husk of its potential where the same poses and infomercial dialog dragged on interminably culminating with the dev taking a break on finishing the game for a few months to work on their other game without pausing subscriptions (cough milking much) culminating in a final episode of 15 minutes "gameplay" half of which is flashback reused images.

Worth playing for the 1st 2 chapters before the phoning in insipidness takes over in the final 2 chapters.

I believe this is one of those games that will be better for those who followed all or most of it's development then it will be for those who pick it up for the first time after its completion. This game is dense with tons of content, but it will also at times seem repetitive with its content. That feeling of repetitiveness is lessened when you are only playing the game once every few months compared to taking it all in one go. I liked the story, the characters, and the scenes. However, it was slightly over padded with things that ultimately weren't important or relative. That being said, if you are a fan of the daddy/daughter dynameic (espescially if your tastes are closer to the wholesome side of the scale) then there are few if any games better than this one. It was a long labor of love and for the most part I think the game succeeds on everything it wanted to accomplish. Maybe not amongst the greatest but more than a solid game.

DMD is a massive game with tons of content. But because it's VN with 3d models i can't really rate it more than slightly above average. After some time all scenes just looked the same to me wanked 1 and deleted forever.

Firstly I want to clarify that I've been playing this game since Chapter 1, and am completely biased towards this game.

The game starts off with an organic relationship between the MC and Dee, as you slowly corrupt her, and grow and foster your relationship.

I committed to the Dee and Elena storyline, and Elena is one of my favorite characters in these types of games. I just love her design and personality.

Unfortunately, as the game went on, more characters have been added, and the MC can enter into multiple side relationships that I fear MrDots invested too much time on. I wish the game focused on the main relationship between MC and Dee, and the small nucleus of characters rather than getting sidetracked.

Loved the first two chapters despite not being a fan of the main girl at all. The slow burning story is fantastic and there's quite a few other girls to really keep one motivated as well.

But as the story goes on, I found it becoming repetitive. In season 3 there's just not enough excitement. You've already had the pay-offs with the main girl and on top of that she's just really boring. No personality at all.
Endless droning about the uninteresting and completely unrealistic modelling career and every conversation is starting to sound the same. I dropped the game and tried to pick it up again but I just don't have it in me.

All in all it's a very well-made game that IMO didn't pan out in the end. It's a bit too aimless and there's a lack of content after a while. The slow burning story, which was the best part about it, becomes a curse.

This game was released in 2016 and I started playing this game in 2018, 4 yrs later (total 6 yrs if counting from release date), still no ending, plus the writing and dialogue getting worse and worse as time goes by. Plot gone, story gone, writing gone, it feels like I'm getting nowhere when playing this game now compared to when I first started playing this game. And no, it doesn't have to do with the "experience", this game basically went downhill and turned into a generic porn game. What's the point of the story now when it's going down the sharing route, if you're going down that route, at least create a new story arc that keeps players interested and invested. I know DMD earns the dev/author lots of $$$, basically your passive income now, but it's time to give it a good ending and make something new instead of this burning garbage.

Art + Tits = 2 stars

Update (24/12/2022)
P. S. Thank gawd this finally ended after 6 agonizing long years.

if there were ever a dead horse we need to stop beating and just bury already, it would probably be this game.

the character writing and dialogue is downright infuriating and made me -for lack of a better term rage quit- certain parts which i had to pause and come back to just to stay calm and away from objects i might’ve hurt myself with. 6 years now in the making, keeps getting worse each and every update, as if that's not bad enough nearly 2.5k patrons still supporting + wanting more of this pile of hot garbage, making this torture still present. just go play something else please

Let me start with saying that in my opinion D model is worse by texture quality wise than other characters.

But for the rest of review:

I have a feeling that the first chapter was meant to be played with a walkthrough because it was more of a points game when maintaining relations with D than real immersive story. Not to mention that if You are playing this chapter for the sake of incest relationship then You would be dissapointed as there is no sex with D in this one.
Which is understandable from the story pov, but not that much from the genre of the game. Because when You play this as standalone and focus on just D route, then You won't have sexual relations with anybody in this chapter. On the other hand You can start with the goal of being exclusive with D, but after a hour of playtime being blueballed you would be really tempted to accept anything from any NPC to just get your dick wet.

Chapter 2 - At last you get to have sex with D, and it is quite an achievement after long time playing. I guess this game peaks in this chapter because I feel that following ones are filled with uninteresting storylines with plenty of POV swaps.

Chapter 3 - The one where You can't import the save from second chapter, which means that You can basically just put what points You want your relationship to be. So basically all the effort put into grinding points is made meaningless. This chapter is I guess most focused on sex, but it seems like the scenes are just made to fill the void in the boring story. Basically having sex all the time, but it feels meaningless as the animations and buildup seem like copypasted.

Chapter 4 - WiP right now, but I feel that storywise it won't be exciting and in my opinion it is not worth it to even wait for updates. From what I've played it is the same events from 2 and 3 chapters but with different people. Sex is plentiful but unimaginative at this point and follows a rule of quantity over quality.

Overall graphics quality was good at the moment of the release of first chapter. It got slightly better over time, but considering the quality of other games it seems like it got stuck in place because it seemed to be too much hastle for the author to take a chance and redo it for the further chapters.

My last thought when I've finished last chapter was "It was not worth it"
So basically this.

I just played over the couple of weeks from the beginning to end of Ch 4.
I really liked the story and even felt an emotion or two while reading.
I also liked that not every character had massive balloon breasts, but more realistic sizes, but that's just my personal opinion.

I somehow seem to remember that I had actually enjoyed this game when I previously played it. How? I just downloaded all 4 chapters. That is itself was one star docked. Not because of it being broken up into 4 downloads but in each chapter this game progressively became worse and worse. The game starts off with a very good concept that is only slightly ruined by the very shitty tactic of one wrong decision is instant game over. That leads to constant saves that have to constantly be named as well each time. Guess the Dev never learned the KISS concept. Keep It Simple Stupid. Ok so a mistake was made. Make me know it and then let me roll back and fix it or move on from it. By the end of Chapter 1 you should have sufficient points built up to be able to navigate through one maybe two screwups without an issue. Some of these game over killer items happen way back in the story and don't kill it until much later when the don't touch my pussy that you just licked 5 minutes ago in the storyline (??????) daughter character gets nosy and finds a photo of her friends tits in your phone that the friend herself did not actually send but your horny ass kept. WTF? Some conversation can easily get around that issue. But daughter making out with another guy is just peachy. The storyline gets all out of sync and takes a very shitty turn. She does not want to share but the MC is expected to share? Nope not for me. I can either be in all the way or I am out completely. The story began to show that it was just being dragged out needlessly as well. The writing got progressively more and more boring. Hey the characters in this game are well drawn out and uniquely interesting to look at. Aside from a tendency to lean towards too many shaved vaginas. This is not so bad except when it is shown on a girl who barely looks over 13 and not the 18 she is being portrayed as. Elena and Jennifer. The tedious nature of I gon't want to fuck my dad just make out with him but oh no he better not get with someone else that will put out is downright infuriating at times especially when the decisions don't make a lick of sense.

But hey if a long overly drawn out game that has an increasingly boring and pointless storyline that will eventually lead to your character having to share the girl you were forced to bust your ass for 3 chapters to get to have sex with regular into sharing that girl with every Tom, Dick, and Harry of every age and race in the game, then this is the game for you. Sadly it was certainly not for me.
