DAGames

DAGames is an American YouTube-based music project built around video game themed songs, sometimes called nerdcore or gaming rock. Founded in 2012 and led by Will Alexander Ryan (often performing under the DAGames name itself), together with longtime collaborator Chris Dell'Isola, the project turns horror and adventure games such as Five Nights at Freddy's, Bendy and the Ink Machine, and Cuphead into full narrative songs, mixing rock, electronic, pop and rap elements depending on the track.

Tracks like «Build Our Machine», «Get Out», «Break My Mind» and «It's Time to Die» became some of the most recognized entries in the wider community of game-inspired YouTube musicians, known for aggressive choruses paired with animated music videos. DAGames frequently collaborates with other artists from the same scene, including Victor McKnight, TryHardNinja and CG5, and the project has expanded into a small label supporting related acts such as Onyx Colony and Pandorium.

Beyond music, DAGames relies on a rotating creative team handling animation and editing, which gives its videos a distinct visual identity alongside the songs themselves. The project remains one of the more consistent and prolific names in the fan-made video game music space.
