- Recruit and protect a herd of adorable Daps, working together to battle spine-chilling creatures and solve puzzles.
- Explore a lushly atmospheric pixelated world, guiding your Daps through alien environments and alternate realities.
- Encounter otherworldly horrors and transcendent beings, slowly uncovering the truth behind the forest's corruption.
- Scavenge and craft to survive the deadly infection.
- Grow a garden in the spirit world and tend to it between the levels.
The game's official synopsis explains, "In Dap, players must guide a group of tiny creatures known as 'Daps' through a hostile and corrupted world. The more Daps they gather, the stronger the pack will become, allowing them to fight otherworldly horrors, unlock new areas, and work as a group to solve puzzles. But the sinister infection that's taking over the forest can affect the Daps too – turning them into twisted, monstrous versions of themselves. Players must move carefully, or else the pack will turn savagely on itself."
