    The third episode of #5under5 is here! Your host, David, is joined by WorldGaming team member Julie. In this episode, David and Julie talk about the latest indie game Shower With Your Dad Simulator.

    This ridiculous-sounding game has a lot of surprises. David and Julie absolutely think that the title is meant to be awkward—even bringing it up is a little weird. This PC game offers plenty of mini-games that somehow revolve around finding your dad in the shower.

    Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015 is an 8-bit pixel style game that focuses on finding your 8-bit dad in the shower. Its fast-paced simulator gameplay will have you memorizing where your 8-bit dad is in a short amount a time to hopefully finding him in the right shower stall.

    Play in three different mini-game modes: ENDURODAD, DADATHLON, and DAD DIVISIONS.

    In Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015 you can:
    * Select from three different 8-bit dads.
    * Play in three different modes: ENDURODAD (an endurance run), DADATHLON (a fast-paced dad matching action), and DAD DIVISION.
    * See 8-bit pixel nudity. It’s hilarious.
