D.S.A

About

D.S.A is an indie adventure game where three girls navigate a warped school campus after a disastrous gig leaves them scattered and disoriented. Players follow Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy as they tackle puzzles, explore shifting environments, and reconcile clashing personalities. The story blends quirky dialogue with surreal visuals as the characters confront hallucinations and cryptic encounters. Gameplay leans into abstract problem solving, with each character’s path influencing the group’s fractured dynamic. The game’s trippy atmosphere and dry humor stand out, balancing absurdity with moments of genuine character tension. Its dreamlike design and nonlinear exploration create a disjointed but engaging experience, though pacing can feel uneven. With a 72% on Metacritic, it appeals to fans of offbeat narratives and experimental puzzle mechanics. The intertwining of personal drama and bizarre worldbuilding makes for a memorable, if unconventional, indie journey.

Storyline

The group consists of Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy. They suffer constant disagreements, over the band's style, name, and often, just with each other. Now they must get back together, get back to their dorms, and maaaaaybe uncover something bigger, as the hallucinations get more vivid, and the people they meet get stranger. After one final gig in a dingy bar, the girl group D.S.A unceremoniously disbands, due to artistic differences. Its three members, Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy, drink themselves into stupors and wake up lost and separated in a dreamlike version of their massive school campus. On the way back to their dorms, they must solve puzzles, rekindle their relationships, uncover an ancient prophecy with the ability to end the world, and possibly get D.S.A back together before the Battle of the Bands the next day.
