About Dashcam

Ready for a wild ride? Dashcam isn’t just a racing game—it’s a narrative-fueled adrenaline rush that drops you in the driver’s seat of chaos. Built for the thrill-seeking gamer, Dashcam throws you onto the streets in a high-octane, indie experience where blasting through traffic is only the beginning. You’ll have five frantic minutes to steer your family sedan—with husband James nervously by your side—through a gauntlet of narrative obstacles, sudden parenting mishaps, and a relentless need for speed.

Forget standard races; every second is a story, every honk a punchline, and every corner veers into witty, sometimes prophetic chaos. The controls are tight—WASD guides your heavy metal beast while Spacebar lets you unleash that all-important honk (useful for more than you might expect). Precision, reflexes, and nerve are your best friends here, as Dashcam ramps up the difficulty and refuses to look in the rearview mirror.

But Dashcam is much more than tough traffic and madcap chases. Its retro-inspired visuals pop with indie flair, catchy neon palettes, and absurdly creative set pieces—think homebrew tarot cards, novelty mirror dice, a delicious Chinese food pickup, and yes, a prophetic milk mural that you’ll have to see to believe. The soundtrack, a banger courtesy of Josh Reichental, pumps your pulse while every tunnel bursts with angst and arcade energy.

What truly sets Dashcam apart is its humor and heart. It pokes fun at parenting, anxiety, and the collision of family and chaos, all wrapped in a uniquely British, tongue-in-cheek style. Whether you're gunning for every collectible tarot card or just trying to handle James’ embarrassment in the passenger seat, Dashcam delivers laughs and challenges in equal measure. Get ready to go full throttle—because this isn’t just a race, it’s a riotous, storytelling sprint where every risk is richly rewarded. Step on it and see if you’ve got what it takes to survive the most chaotic five minutes in indie racing!

How to Play

Dashcam combines precision driving with hilarious narrative moments, challenging players to navigate busy streets and collect quirky items—all under the pressure of a relentless timer. Begin by familiarizing yourself with the controls: use 'W' to accelerate, 'S' to brake or reverse, and 'A' and 'D' to steer left and right. The Spacebar is your honk—a feature that's not just for fun; honking at the right times can influence characters' reactions, trigger collectibles, or even clear hazards.

Your objective is to reach your goal in under five minutes while picking up unique collectibles like tarot cards and avoiding crashes—easy to say, tough to master! The game's level ramps up with unpredictable obstacles, tight turns, and comedically timed events that demand split-second decisions. Pay attention to narrative cues: your passenger, Husband James, offers both hints and comic relief.

Beginners should focus on maintaining steady speed and anticipating turns, using the novelty dice as visual markers. Grabbing Chinese food and tarot cards scores bonus points, but beware—the real challenge is keeping your cool as chaos mounts. If you crash, don’t sweat it; quick restarts mean every attempt teaches you more about the game’s hidden surprises. Keep your eyes peeled for the prophetic milk mural and angst tunnel—mastering these sequences can separate the casual drivers from real Dashcam legends. Ready, set, Go!
