Our take on Dap
Rather than centering a lone hero, the game makes a vulnerable creature group the core of its action-adventure structure. Progress depends on gathering, protecting, and managing the pack, while infection can turn companions into threats and interrupt the usual power fantasy.
What is Dap?
Guide a group of small Daps through a hostile, corrupted world and lead them home.
Explore a pixel-art realm between dreams and waking while facing supernatural creatures, strange entities, and forbidden gods. Gather more Daps to increase the pack’s strength, but prolonged exposure to infected areas can turn companions against one another. Progress includes cooperative puzzle solving, combat, scavenging, and crafting. Between levels, ascend to a spirit realm and care for a garden before returning to the dangerous world below.
