A downloadable game for Windows

Originally a real-time audio-visual experience designed for live performance, Dadda has now been adapted for into an avant-garde desktop PC experience, crafted within the UE5 engine. This unique adaptation captures the essence of the live show, offering a disruptive take on technology, experimental noise music, and anxious expression—remapped for you to perform yourself on your own PC.



  • Live Performance Adaptation: Experience the powerful and chaotic spectacle of Dadda, originally designed for live performance, now reimagined as an interactive desktop game.
  • Dark Humor & Symbolism: Explore Dadda's metallic anatomy and personal signifiers, symbols of fragility, resilience, and collective anxieties.
  • Interactive Gameplay: Engage with Dadda's sonic contraptions, from squeaking toys to spinning spirals, creating unpredictable sonic outcomes more in tune with experimental noise music.
  • Advanced Audio Capabilities: Experience fully spatialized audio with standard stereo, and the potential for 5.1 or 7.1 surround.
  • Variable Play-Time: Perform, sequence and replay Dadda differently each time, with play-time ranging from 5-35 minutes.

This desktop game adaptation of Dadda re-captures the energy of the original live performance as a single player narrative experience - featuring  a new narrative mode.
