About
Raise a hacker, fight scammers: DeadlineDave is a hacker tamagotchi — a tiny terminal world that lives in your pocket.
Meet Dave: a hoodie-wearing hacker who never leaves his basement den. Keep him fed, caffeinated and awake while he takes shady gigs for cash and reputation. Let his energy hit zero and he burns out face-down on the keyboard.
WHAT YOU DO
- Keep Dave alive — coffee, pizza and actual sleep manage his energy and focus
- Work the job board — from recovering Xbox accounts to auditing a very sketchy "friend's" router
- Pull off heists — rare, high-stakes vigilante ops against scammers. Burn out mid-op and it all falls apart
- Watch the heat — push your luck and Dave gets traced, loses cash, and has to lay low
- Crack the code — solve a quick password mini-game after jobs for bonus cash
BUILD YOUR LEGEND
- A story to finish — a mysterious contact recruits you to take down SCADENCE, the boss behind every scam
- Upgrade your rig — permanent gear that changes how Dave works
- Deck out the den — neon signs, lava lamps, plants and six emoji pets that live in the room
- Make Dave yours — 11 hacker looks, from classic hoodie to eyepatch pirate
- Prestige — burn your identity and start over stronger
- Achievements — for grinding, heisting, collecting… and getting caught
IT LIVES OUTSIDE THE APP
- Live Activities & Dynamic Island track your heist in real time
- A home-screen widget keeps an eye on Dave
- Notifications warn you before he burns out
No accounts. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just you and a very tired hacker.
