DAD plunges players into a deeply unsettling narrative, blending horror elements with a storyline that traces the complexities of a fractured father-son relationship. The game begins when Harry, the protagonist, receives an unexpected message from his estranged father, who expresses a desire to reconcile after years of absence. Driven by a mix of curiosity and long-standing resentment, Harry agrees to meet. This meeting, however, soon takes a dark turn as Harry senses that his father may be concealing a sinister secret. Set against the backdrop of graphics inspired by the PlayStation 1 era, the game captures the essence of 80s and 90s horror films, offering players an immersive dive into a visually and emotionally textured world.
In DAD, the player navigates through the game’s chilling storyline from a first-person perspective, enhancing the sense of immersion and personal involvement in the unfolding drama. Using only the mouse and keyboard, players explore various environments that are stylistically reminiscent of early PS1 games, complete with pixelated textures and jagged edges that contribute to the game’s eerie atmosphere. The gameplay, lasting anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, is tightly packed with suspenseful moments and psychological twists that challenge players to uncover the truth behind the father’s mysterious motives. The combination of retro graphics and first-person gameplay creates a unique, nostalgic, yet fresh horror experience that both pays homage to and revitalizes the genre.
