Dave-Man

[h1] I'll try to keep it concise: [/h1] [b] 1. [/b] The movement seems to be based on an invisible grid system making movements feel clunky and inaccurate. [b] 2. [/b] There are elements in the office maze sections of the game which are not explained at all. For example, one office worker I bumped into just talked to me about a new website, while another one released smoke that made me lose the level? It'd be nice if there was some sort of explanation of what npcs are friendly, and which ones are not because its incredibly unclear. [b] 3. [/b] Most of the game is spent in your home. Regardless of if you win or lose a level, you're constantly forced to go to your home, to hear your wife spout the same dialogue, and then sit at the same table to get the same dinner to then exit your bedroom to then hear your wife spout the same dialogue to then finally be able to leave your home to play the game. This just seems like a way to pad out your playtime without actually playing the game. It's fine the first time, but to hear the same dialogue and do the same motions each time you want to play another level makes me not want to continue to play the game because it feels like it punishe…

Like many of us, Dave is a man who likes coffee and works the grind of the 9-5 office life. There's something eerily familiar to me of that mundane routine of getting up and going to work, all with false hopes of one day of getting 'that' promotion. Luckily for Dave, he only has 20 days left till he retires in the story mode version of this game, and your quest is to earn enough 'dollar dollar bills' to buy STUFF, so you won't be bored when that eventful day comes. Just like real life. You venture to the office and select a level which in all tense and purposes is a labyrinth of computer desks laid out in various ways and Dave then has to complete his most important job. Collect coffee beans, to make coffee, otherwise how the heck will he make it through the day? As you progress through this game, you'll meet 'Chatty' Cathy and Bob (DAMMIT BOB), as well as some office folk who are more delightful to bump into. There are similarities to Pac-Man with how this works and you'll find yourself quickly getting into the swing of things, which I think is a great little time-waster for short bursts of play. You can also unlock power-ups from the STUFF that you bought from your trusty l…

This game is like if Office Space was based off an NES game.

Dave-Man is kinda like if Pac-Man had RPG elements… but not like that actual Pac-Man RPG… this is more like classic arcade style maze dot collecting, or in this case, coffee bean collecting, mixed with that sort of quirky, self aware humor and sincerity you’d find in the Mother series. Dave is a simple guy. He wakes up late for work every day, and prioritizes getting a fresh cup of coffee over everything else. To get that cup of coffee, Dave has to avoid annoying co-workers. If he succeeds, he performs well at his job and takes home some pay. If he fails, his work suffers, and he goes home without any pay. Dave needs money to buy stuff, because he’s thirty days away from retirement and doesn’t want to be bored for the rest of his life. He spends a lot of time online shopping, but he has to be careful with his purchases. His wife is going to get rid of the computer once Dave retires, so he needs to buy everything he wants while he still has time. The audio and visuals feel like a cross between the Gameboy and the NES, with some really charming and finely crafted pixel art all throughout the game. I could forgive someone for mistakenly writing this off as some overly simplistic …
