About Plaything
In the dark shadows of your kidnapper's dungeon, you awaken to find yourself in the clutches of a deranged old man who sees you as nothing more than a doll. He has curated a sadistic game of control, where your survival depends on your ability to master his twisted version of childhood fun.You will die.
Gameplay
Your captor has devised a series of deadly games for you to play. Each one more disturbing than the last, these challenges are designed to test your worthiness as his perfect "plaything." Failure means death, and success could mean becoming a permanent addition to his collection.

Cool little game with some nice ideas and atmosphere. Narration is on point along with the sound effects and background music. The art style also fits nicely. If you like puzzle games, it is definitely worth it!3 found this helpful
After I tried this game on a friend's computer, i decidided to buy it myself. It starts with some mini games which for some reason reminded me of the SquidGame series. The mini games are more challenging than I first thought. This game is really hard. At least for me :) Seems like failing and dying multiple times is part of the game. There is no game save. Everytime you die or restart the game, you start from the beginning. That's a little bit annoying, also it is what makes this game interesting. All you have to beat this game is your knowledge of the previous tries. BUT the clues you get in game is different at different places with every run. So it's not always the same.2 found this helpful
A very fun but also challenging game! Wasnt able to escape yet, you really need to learn to qwirks af you kidnapper. Also the voiceover is creepy - in a good way.2 found this helpful
Plaything is a very challenging game with very good graphics and puzzles which also works well with controller, its unforgiving and the game resets after every death but that's part of the feel of what its meant to be, i had a few issues with the game freezing after dying a number of times but a quick refresh and things where fine again, its worth playing if you want a challenge however the weighs game has an issue with the weights staying on the scales, other than that i enjoyed the game a lot and cant wait to try finish it 💚💙2 found this helpful
not sure you can actually beat the game. every time I flip a switch in the toy room, then return to the room to wait for the next time by using the bath, it kills me. occasionally the time you have out of the room is so much shorter than it should be and you just lose. just seems too tedious and unfair after a while. I see the achievement rate is 0% for beating the game, so like, not a good sign. also the hopscotch game is definitely the jankiest, lowest completion rate according to the achievements. I only finished it once, other times it would change colors and just kill me instantly.2 found this helpful
The idea of the game is interesting, you need to understand that the whole point of the game is dying and slowly discovering more things with each "doll". The mini games are fun, the time you have to go around and explore the premises is a confusing as you have to go around finding stuff on your own. I got soft locked twice while playing.
