Australian gaming studio Melting Parrot has announced their first game, Dap. A promotional video for the announcement was also posted.
Dap is described as a horror-action-adventure game. In the game, we will try to protect our tiny, fragile creatures named ‘Dap’ from any threat they may pose in this uncanny world we are in. We will start the game as a single dap, then find the other daps and fight as a group to get rid of this nightmare. It is possible to compare the logic of guiding other daps in the game to our direction of mudokons in Oddworld; we will be able to give commands such as waiting where they are or following us.
The creatures we will clash with, the ancient secrets to be discovered, the puzzles to solve are waiting for us. There’s also a disease that can infect our daps and turn them into terrifying beings.
Dap is set to meet gamers in the third quarter of this year. This isn’t going to be a full year for the big games. Naturally, the environment is down to independent productions. Let’s see if Dap can be one of the standouts among these independent productions.
