About the Game

Puppet is a third-person atmospheric puzzle-adventure game where you control a small living doll exploring a human-sized world from a miniature perspective.

A young girl suddenly disappears at a school gate without a trace. While the investigation leads nowhere, a small doll mysteriously comes to life and begins searching for her owner, uncovering secrets hidden within the environment.

In Puppet, gameplay revolves around solving puzzles to uncover the story:

  • Explore interconnected areas such as classrooms, corridors, and hidden spaces, where objects appear massive and can be used as platforms or tools

  • Solve environmental puzzles to unlock new areas and reveal pieces of the story

  • Interact with notes, objects, and environmental details to gradually uncover what really happened

  • Avoid detection from supernatural entities using stealth mechanics such as hiding, timing movement, and observing enemy patterns

Each puzzle solved brings the player closer to the truth, revealing new story elements and deeper mysteries behind the disappearance.

Players progress by completing puzzles, unlocking paths, and discovering narrative clues, while facing increasing danger and complexity.

The game features a combination of puzzle-solving and light stealth gameplay, where failure can occur if the player is caught or makes incorrect decisions in dangerous situations.

As the story unfolds, players will uncover disturbing connections behind the missing children and experience multiple outcomes depending on their actions.

Will you uncover the truth, or be lost within the mystery?
