Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“While Dave.EXE already features plenty of content, I believe the game still needs more time in the oven. Releasing Dave.EXE in Early Access will show the community that there will be a lot more than what's currently available. More story content, characters, cosmetics to unlock and places to explore!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At least three years. This should be enough time for us to add the rest of the content on our roadmap and deliver something we feel everyone will be happy with.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to have the full version feature more locations, enemies and player content as well as a proper story mode.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of the game features 10 locations, 40 enemies and many random events to spice up your playthroughs. What we have currently is close to the vision we have for the finalized version of the game, but still missing some maps and story content that we are planning to have featured in the game.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to raise the price, but not by much once Dave.EXE leaves early access. We want the current early access state of the game to be as accessible to everyone as possible.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We'll be posting previews and other teasers of the development of Dave.EXE through our socials and on our Steam news posts to keep players up to date on what's coming. We'd love to have players give us feedback during the game's development, as it will help us immensely towards balancing the game just right!”

About This Game

A mysterious entity has risen from the shadows, corrupting everything he touches. Multiple timelines and worlds have been taken over, frozen in time. You, a lone microfolk with no name is tasked by Gatekeeper Berry and his legion of Berry the Bears to save the universe. Explore different timelines, empty vending machines and in due time, restore time itself. This won't be an easy task, E.D knows you're out to stop him and has unleashed his army of goons to send you to your grave. Will you be able to put an end to this edgy time lord's reign of terror?

Dave.EXE is a singleplayer comedy horror game inspired by many asymmetrical horror games of recent time. You must explore different timelines, emptying soda machines of their contents and escaping with your life against a randomly selected monster, map and random event.

The Nothingness is your home now. This place is where the Berry the Bears reside, offering quests, opportunities and plenty of clothes to shop for to make your stay more comfortable. Collect coins, scrap and whatever you can find to unlock these cosmetics as well as gadgets and charms to buff up your character. Mix and match different builds to create the perfect playstyle for you!

WHAT THE TIMELINES HAVE TO OFFER

  • MANY WORLDS TO EXPLORE - From futuristic cities, to medieval times, to 1980s small town America, there are many different timelines to explore!

  • CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION - Collect coins and unlock different cosmetics to customize your little microwave fellow. You can even unlock different skins for the enemies you encounter in the timelines!

  • ENDLESS GAMEPLAY LOOP - Run, hide and utilize the environment to evade the horrors that stalk you. With many maps to explore, enemies to encounter and random events to spice up every round, you'll find yourself coming back for more!

  • MANY DIFFERENT PLAYSTYLES - Do you want to equip your character with buffs that grant you SPEED, maybe one for stealthily evading enemies more effectively or even a build that puts you in danger but rewards you with lots of coins for your daredevil nature. With many difficulty modifiers, charms and items to use, you will be able to handle each and every encounter the way you want to!

  • QUESTS FOR THE ERRAND LOVERS - Take on different quests given to you by the various inhabitants of the Nothingness. There's more to life than just looting old vending machines to save the world. Help a fellow Berry out with their troubles and get some nice rewards to fund your shopaholic tendencies.
