Who's Your Daddy? is an online multiplayer parody simulation video game created by Joseph Williams under the name Evil Tortilla Games. The game raised US$1,500 through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and was approved for release on Steam via Steam Greenlight. An early access version launched on December 23, 2015, followed by a full release on May 13, 2016.
Gameplay
Who's Your Daddy? features a competitive multiplayer mode played either online or locally. One player controls the father, who must prevent household accidents, while the other controls the baby, who attempts to endanger itself in various ways.[1][2][3] The father can secure cabinets, hide dangerous items, and block access to hazards, while the baby may ingest bleach, crawl into ovens, or insert objects into electrical outlets.[4][5]
The original game is set in a two-story home with several common rooms. The remake introduced a remastered version of the house and added a new map, "The Baby Daddy Academy". Players typically swap roles between rounds.[6]
