Dabman: When the Haters Dab Back

Dabman: When the Haters Dab Back is an interactive movie created by BMC Studio and released through Steam Direct on July 2018. As of 2022, it has been delisted.

Why It Dabbed

 * 1) The cutscenes are not compressed. It's 7.3 GB to download, and the game is 20 minutes long if you do all the choices!
 * 2) Like BMC's other games, it's a poorly made interactive movie.
 * 3) Nonsensical Plot: The entire game is about a guy named Robert who becomes "Dabman" after eating a Tide Pod.
 * 4) Terrible acting, with some Heavy French accent that makes it hard to understand what is being said.
 * 5) No main menu or settings menu.
 * 6) You can't even close the game without having to use the Task Manager or pressing the Windows key.
 * 7) Just the title mentioning dabbing, a memetic gesture that has gotten outdated/cringey very quickly, and is now shorthand for "desperately trying to be relevant".

Reception
Despite having a "mostly positive" review status on Steam, almost all the positive reviews are ironic, and the serious negative reviews are extremely downgrading. But if you take a closer look, and listen to videos on Youtube, you can see that almost everyone likes the game at least a little bit. This is the better received BMC Studios game since Kimulator 2 and There is a Genie in my Szechuan Sauce.
