Welcome to the greatest challenge of them all: parenthood!
Guide two loving dads in this charming yet brainy 3D sokoban-like puzzle game as they try to tuck their rowdy daughters into bed.

Each setting ups the challenge with unique items, mechanics, and obstacles. Bring both daughters to the goal in the fewest possible steps — if you can handle two kids at once!
Over 100 handcrafted levels, 11+ vibrant environments, and two kids who won’t stay put.
