> Who’s Your Daddy is a video game that was a joke, then became a Kickstarter, and now it’s a thing. It’s also a game about a baby trying to kill itself.
>Creator Joe Williams based the idea for the game off a joke post, but in the months since has got serious—or as serious as this game gets, which is not very—about it, with a recent upswing in attention thanks to some prominent YouTubers (like Dunkey, whose clip has over 1.3 million views), who have been playing an alpha build of the game that was made via a successful Kickstarter campaign.
> This in turn led to an appearance on Steam, and on December 12 Who’s Your Daddy was successfully Greenlit. You can download the alpha and play it yourself here.
> The game is pretty simple. One player controls the dad, who has to run around the house trying to keep dangerous stuff out of the hands of a baby. The other player controls the baby, who...has to try and kill himself. Drinking poison, climbing into the oven, sticking a fork into a powerpoint, it doesn’t matter how he does it, so long as he does it.
Why aren't you playing the hottest game right now?

But.....
Why?
Lol, this looks hilarious.
Nice find, OP. Thanks for sharing!
Shameless Witcher 3 rip-off.
>It's just a prank bro!
What's with devs making streamer bait nowadays?
>>320114108
Easy money
>>320113867
Won't play it, but I do think that it's an interesting idea at least. Doesn't look like a very deep game.
>>320113867
a game like this suits a generation that will not have children.
>>320114084
>>320114151
Exactly, especially since the games rarely even pass the 20 dollar mark and usually sit around the 10-15 range, they're accessible as hell to everybody and because they don't a ton of effort you just need one streamer to show it off and you'll make a profit from the sales it'll generate
The game is hilarious if you fuck around with it.
I feel like game journalism just baits the controversy that it just reports on.
I wish everyone just called them game tabloids.
>>320114531
Lamo
Those funnyjunk aspies sure know how to make cool games
so, why is the baby trying to kill itself
>>320113867
Editorialize title, Baby Suicide Prevention is a more accurate title.
>>320113867
I hope this game has racial diversity.
>>320113867
i dont play casual indie shit
>"master race"
LOL
>>320114909
The baby is black.If it gets into the oven.
>>320114973
A black jew?
Isnt it based on a board game or something?
>>320115040
>jew
>race
Hah.
>>320114198
you say it like thats a bad thing
>>320113867
Oh my god.
It's like those episode of tom and jerry where they have to save that infant from itself.
That actually sounds both fun and horribly fucked up. And to be honest, this will actually help raise and entire generation of young men who'll be better fathers.
wasn't this based on a joke that was posted here
>>320114531
They used to, before faggots started taking garbage sites like kotaku and polygon seriously.
>>320115296
>this will actually help raise and entire generation of young men who'll be better fathers
Yeah, because babies are notorious for opening oven doors themselves, turning them on, then climbing in an shutting the door behind them. If you are going to have kids and you need to learn not to leave dangerous household chemicals in easy to reach places, and that cupboard locks are a great investment you shouldn't be having kids because you're still a child yourself. What next in the education range, "don't shake the baby!" and idler where you don't shake your infant, or will it be "don't give your baby a loaded shotgun, their accuracy is shit?"

WHO THE FUCK CALLS A POWER SOCKET A POWERPOINT
the game is hilarious, but very shallow and devoid of any content.
inb4 JUST AN ALPHA

Microsoft for one, you fucking retard.
Reminder to report Kotaku garbage.
>>320113867
Memes asids, this sounds like pretty damn fun abd innovate gameplay.
That is some Donte tier edginess

>I drank the Soap, the Bleach, and the Windex
>God damnit
Dunkey makes me laugh even though its stupid jokes that I wouldn't laugh at if it weren't him
>>320116261
That's the joke.
>>320115515
No, not the crazy shit you're talking about. The general idea that taking care of a kid is something that is heroic and damned tough but rewarding at the end of the day.
Also yeah, this will make men hyper aware of their environment where a dumbass kid will be wandering around and take steps to make it impossible for them to hurt themselves and come down on them like the fury of an angry god when they do get into something stupid and make them realize that it's not a good idea.

>thousands of years of human evolution
>good thing this video game came along to teach people how to be parents
you are fucking retarded
HATE BABIES
How does the father win? Is there a time limit?
Can we permaban kotaku posters?

>thousands of years of human evolution
Might want to watch the insults, you're making yourself out to be an even bigger fool than he is.
I'm surprised they aren't mad. Have they finally acquired a sense of humour?
>>320118065
Millions are still thousands, just a lot more thousands :^)

finding some bugs in alpha gameplay is awesome.
>>320117952
What's wrong with kotaku?
>>320119398
A reputation of terrible content. A lot of people do not like them.
>>320119398
Everything.
>>320119398
>>320117952
Let them be, Kotaku is going to be killed this year
Considering how much feminists love abortions they might enjoy this game as well.
>>320119398
Biased clickbait bullshit trying to pass as journalism.
>>320114108
>make streamer-bait game with just enough effort for it to be noticed and considered a potential good/fun/other buzzword game
>streamers streams it
>make a kikestarter
>fund it thanks to the hype
>half assedly finish the game with minimum money waste
>rinse and repeat
>>320113867
That actually sounds like a really fun premise for a game.
If you ever wanted to know the definition of meme game, this is it.
