Who's Your Daddy? is an online multiplayer parody simulation video game created by Joseph Williams[1] under the name Evil Tortilla Games.[2] The game raised $1,500 through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and was approved for release on Steam through Steam Greenlight. An early access version of the game was released December 23, 2015.[3] The full game was released on May 13, 2016.[4]

Gameplay

[edit]

The game includes a competitive multiplayer mode played either online via the game's servers or via local multiplayer in which one player controls the father and the other player controls the baby. In both modes, the father must prevent the baby's death, through methods such as locking cabinets and placing dangerous objects out of the baby's reach, as the baby attempts to commit suicide in various ways, including drinking bleach and sticking forks in electrical outlets.[5][6]

The original game takes place in a two-story home with several common rooms, the Remake has a remastered version of the original house and a new map called "The Baby Daddy Academy".[7] Players often swap roles each round.[8]

Remake

[edit]

A remake of the game was announced on the game's Steam community page on October 16, 2018.[9] The game was announced to include several new features, as well as expanding to many other platforms. The release was delayed several times before being set to December 23, 2020, exactly five years after the original game's release.[10] The remake was released for Windows, macOS, Linux, Xbox One, Android and it will eventually release on iOS and PlayStation consoles.[11][12]
