Fans of Hot Dad will enjoy the absurd humor and unique aesthetic of the game.
The included music videos and credits sequence are highlights, providing a surreal and entertaining experience.
The game is a fun, albeit short, interactive skit that can be enjoyable if purchased on sale.

The game feels amateurish with poor presentation and rough movement, making it seem like a last-minute project.
Many players found the experience too short and not worth the full price, with gameplay lasting only about 20-30 minutes.
The humor and overall concept may not resonate with everyone, leading to confusion and disappointment for those unfamiliar with Hot Dad.
