Having already succeeded on Kickstarter, Who's Your Daddy is now having a crack at Steam Greenlight. Zany games often try to coast on wackiness alone, but I'm into the idea of hide-and-seek-and-hide-the-bleach. It's a simple idea which began as a gag, but it looks a bit of a lark. You can download an alpha version for Windows and Mac over here. It's like those Counter-Strike rounds comically stalled by players battling over opening and closing doors, only with a baby in an oven. We're happy to announce that your favorite parent simulator Who's Your Daddy will be released on Xbox as a Game Preview Friday the 5th of January. I am unreasonably pleased by the moment in that gameplay video when the baby tries to keep the oven both closed and turned on despite the dad's best efforts.

Completing chores can give the dad power-ups as well. Xbox Insiders on Xbox are invited to preview Who’s Your Daddy, a casual 1 on 1 video game featuring a clueless father attempting to prevent his infant son from certain death. It's got a touch of wonkyphysics too, for comedic effect.

To recap in written word form: inside a non-babyproofed house, a dad must rush to lock cabinets, turn off dangerous appliances, tidy away dangerous things, cover plug sockets, and generally try to keep an eye on baby, while the little tyke is hell-bent on harming itself through drowning, scalding, poisoning, electrocution, or whatever else they can figure out. Oh sure, the game looks all sorts of janky, but it's a charming idea. Drinking soap is always a safe bet, and maybe you can pop yourself in the oven.

The two-player asymmetric multiplayer game will have a game dad rushing about trying to child-proof a home while the baby crawls about trying to find ways to injure itself. The duties of a game dad usually entail smashing in the teeth of anyone so much as looks at your daughter figure, but Who's Your Daddy takes a far more realistic approach.
