About the Game

Doll.

My darling doll...

Your birth is nigh, so leave the cradle.

They plundered my body,
my limbs ripped off,
my eyes gouged.

To reclaim all, I give birth to you.

Awaken, my doll. It is time for battle.

<Game Introduction>

Dolls Nest is a 3D action game where you control a mecha girl as she explores the gigantic factory world of Hod on her journey to uncover the truth.
Hod, the world which you inhabit, is a massive crater crawling with armored units. Broken machines and ruined buildings are strewn across its landscape.
But fate can be cruel. You must scavenge the land for resources if you wish to survive in this ruined world.
Make use of the parts and items you find on your journey, and overcome the trials that lie before you.
