Deadbeat Daddy
Intro
A story based dating sim deckbuilder.
Go on blind dates with regular humans, play EVENT CARDS which impress or dissuade your date, and earn LOVE POINTS to show your adoration.
Good luck finding the love of your (un)life!
Story
The zombie apocalypse has come and gone, and through pure luck you're still here, even if you're a little undead. And the dating scene is still as much of a gamble as it was before, BUT! You've been dead for so long the interest on your bank account has added some extra zeros to your balance, and your unique situation has attracted the attention of reality show producers. Maybe being TV's favourite sugar daddy will change your fortunes?

Gameplay
1. PLAN YOUR DATE
- Spend your LOVE POINTS to build a deck of EVENT CARDS for your upcoming date! Event cards have effects that change your score. The more love points you spend, the stronger the effects of each card.
- Buy GIFTS to impress your date! Gifts immediately add a global multiplier to all love points earned on a date, but beware, this can also multiply negatives.
2. GO ON YOUR DATE
- Your EVENT CARDS deck is shuffled and cards are played one at a time.
- FEELING LUCKY? The NEXT button plays another card. Cards are revealed and take effect after they are played.
- THINK YOU WON? The STOP button ends the date and saves your current love points.
3. HOW DID YOU DO?
- Now that the date is over, see how many points you earned.
- You win when you reach a points threshold, and the game ends if you run out of love points.
4. GO ON ANOTHER DATE
- Return to the planning screen!
