About the Game

DESCRIPTION:

In this game, you'll be investigating a collection of dolls. Some ordinary, others hiding a dark curse. Through a series of tests, you must determine which dolls are merely toys and which conceal something sinister.

However, not everything is as it seems...

Normal Mode: Normal Mode (or Story Mode) always has the same dolls. These dolls have long descriptions and each doll has been specifically designed and written. The Normal Mode has 4 endings and 19 dolls to go through.

Endless Mode (Not Yet Implemented): Endless Mode features randomly generated dolls, from visuals, to the havoc they wreak. Endless Mode features more tests, tons of randomly picked events, scripted events and a lot of additional story elements, that may have been unanswered in the Normal Mode.

Estimated Play Time: 1.5 hours (for one ending) - Normal Mode

WARNING:

This is a horror game, it may not be for the faint of heart. It includes jumpscares and dark themes.

ADDITIONAL WARNING:

 (if streaming) This game reads your PCs name at some point. Some people may not want this to be shown. So just a heads up!
