Fake Father

Fake Father is a 3D adult visual novel for players who want a family-drama setup with a slow-burn sense of secrecy. The tone stays grounded and quiet rather than played for laughs.

Story

An old man whose life has fallen apart gets an unexpected offer from a double of himself: take over his identity and his life. He agrees, moving into a stranger's home to live as husband to his wife and father to his three daughters. Settling into this borrowed family, he starts uncovering the secrets they've been keeping, secrets that may lead him back to who he really is.

Gameplay

Play unfolds through dialogue-driven scenes set around the household and school routines of the family, with the player deciding how the impostor father behaves toward his wife and daughters. Choices lean into watching, testing boundaries, and slowly gaining leverage over the people around him, with static art and short animated scenes marking key moments. Progress is tied to learning more about the family's past as trust and suspicion shift between characters.
