Dap

Dap pitches itself as a horror-action-adventure about gathering and protecting a pack of tiny creatures called Daps. Something incomprehensible has descended onto the forest, slithering in from a crack in reality, and it's up to you to lead the Daps to safety through an eerily beautiful pixel world.

The core mechanic is the pack itself. Band the Daps together to solve puzzles and fight off hellish threats. The more Daps you gather, the stronger the pack grows, but they are not immune to infection. Linger too long in the wrong place and the pack will turn on itself, with horrific consequences.

Ascend to the spirit world between levels to tend a garden you maintain there, a much-needed break from the grim work below. On the ground, scavenging and crafting keep you alive. Otherworldly horrors, interdimensional entities, and gods that have no business being worshipped populate a permeable realm on the border between dreaming and waking.
