Dino Dad — In-Depth Analysis
Dino Dad is a character added in the Dino Kid update of 99 Nights in the Forest and is the father of the Dino Kid. He is found in the lobby area, where his desk sits near the badge board that tracks the six badges tied to the Dino Kid event. Those badges ask you to protect and care for the Dino Kid through a set number of nights.
Completing specific Dino Kid badges unlocks Tapes. These are lore-focused cutscenes that tell the story at the center of the update, and each one reveals a fact about the Dino Kid that can also be useful during a run. There are three tapes in total.
The first tape explains how the Dino Kid ended up trapped by the Deer. He was lured by a cake and was captured almost immediately after picking it up, which tells you that cake is one of his favorite treats. The second tape covers a secret item in the Dino Kid's room during the event, a photo. To get it, click the toy under the bed, pull the standing red book on the lower part of the bookshelf, and a hidden hatch under the bed opens where the photo is kept. The third tape shows the Dino Kid's life with his father before the capture and reveals that his absolute favorite food is carrot cake.
