One of the most criticized aspects of earlier builds was the opaque "Reputation" system. In The Daddy Plan -v0.07-, ShaddyGames added a visual tooltip that shows exactly how a dialogue choice will affect your standing with each faction (Family, Work, External). This reduces guesswork without removing the challenge.
As an indie title, The Daddy Plan relies heavily on community feedback from platforms like Patreon or dedicated adult gaming forums. The reception often hinges on the quality of the renders and the "choices matter" aspect. Players often look for updates that respect their previous decisions and provide meaningful content that justifies the wait between versions.
The Daddy Plan isn’t trying to be everyone’s favorite game. It’s focused, occasionally uncomfortable, and surprisingly heartfelt in its quieter moments. Version 0.07 adds real substance without breaking what worked before.
Rating: 7.5/10 – Recommended for genre fans. Wait for the next major update if you prefer more complete story arcs. The Daddy Plan -v0.07- - ShaddyGames

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the adult visual novel scene, you’ve probably noticed ShaddyGames building a reputation for sharp writing and morally complex scenarios. Their latest update, The Daddy Plan - v0.07, is no exception.
Let’s break down what this new release brings to the table, who it’s for, and whether it’s worth your hard drive space.
Since its release three weeks ago, the response on the ShaddyGames Discord and Reddit has been overwhelmingly positive, albeit with some criticism. Have you played v0
The Praise: Players love the new "Humor" stat. In v0.07, witty dialogue options no longer feel like punishes; they unlock unique side conversations. One user wrote: "Finally, a visual novel where being funny doesn't make everyone hate you."
The Criticism: The most common complaint about The Daddy Plan -v0.07- is the length. Despite adding 12,000 words, veteran players report finishing the new content in roughly 90 minutes. ShaddyGames has acknowledged this in a devlog, stating that v0.08 will focus on "sandbox activities" to pad the runtime.
✘ Still early in development – v0.07 is far from complete. Many planned routes lack closure.
✘ Grind can feel repetitive (same job mini-game, limited locations).
✘ Some grammatical errors in dialogue (expected for indie, non-native English dev).
✘ Renders are decent but not top-tier (e.g., not at Summertime Saga or Being a DIK level).
✘ Android port may have stability issues or missing video codecs.
A highly requested feature, the Late Night system allows the player to move freely around the house after 10 PM. In v0.07, there are three new fully animated scenes (ranging from SFW character development to NSFW outcomes, depending on your previous choices). These scenes are gated behind specific "Trust" thresholds, encouraging replayability.
