About the Game



In Ceramic Soul play as Yu, a porcelain doll made by the monstrous Mother to stand in for her estranged daughter. Explore her manor, discovering the history of these two characters by taking a close look at the environment and Mother’s chosen keepsakes. Detach your hand to reach previously inaccessible areas, solve puzzles, and pick up items to help you escape.



  • Danger lurks around every corner as Mother patrols the manor, looking to return Yu to her rightful place.
  • Solve puzzles by exploring, looking hints placed along the walls, and climbing through vents using your detachable hand.
  • Some of the toys may not be as innocent as they seem, tread carefully... some of them might be watching.
  • Keep your eyes peeled for paintings. The story of this family, and their tragic decline is all around you.
