I RECEIVED A GALLEY OF THIS THROUGH NETGALLEY

I really enjoy the Dream Daddy game so I was excited to check out this graphic novel and it did not fail to deliver. I really enjoyed just the little snapshots of different things in this world. It was just a fun read and I highly recommend it for fans of the game. If you don't know anything about this game I recommend not reading this yet because you do need to know the characters already before jumping into this. A thing I didn't like though, were all the different art styles. Yes, they were all beautiful but they were all so different from each other that it just felt a bit jarring. I would have liked it more if this only had one illustrator or just had more similair styles included. Another downpoint for me was the fact that the typografy was very hard to read at times, which made the reading experience less enjoyable.

I haven’t been able to play the Dream Daddy game yet, but my oh my have I watched plenty of lets-plays as I think it is one of the cutest and prettiest games. I love the art style and the all the relationships between the dads and kids. Within the graphic novel were 5 stories and each had their own unique brand of cosiness and comfort. Each story brought with it a hug of it’s own. The artwork style reflected the plot points nicely making the whole experience harmonious.

Most of the stories made reference to each dad’s child(ren) and I loved how in some of them the story revolved around the dads and sometimes the children. They make it clear that these relationships are not perfect and all need work and show some of the compromises made.

I have to admit my favourite of all the stories was #1, it was the snuggliest hug and the cutest story ending in a kiss. I really enjoyed the D’N’D inspired one too. Each one has left a little piece of happiness in my heart. Just so cute!
