About Scar of the Doll

Follow Asumi as she travels to Tokyo alone to search for her only sister whom she has mysteriously not heard from for months. Highlighted by a genuinely intelligent and unpredictable story, uncover a frightening truth in this dramatic and thrilling suspense mystery.
"We used to Fight As Children…
We Fought Over the TV…
I wanted to watch cartoons and you wanted to watch science programs…
In the end I’d always burst into tears…
And you’d always let me watch what I wanted…
Father was always busy…
It was always just the two of us...
We used to go to the festival every summer…
Always...together…
You smiling beside me...wearing the same yukata…
But one year we stopped going...a boy picked you up… I knew you liked that boy
I used to stand by the door watching you…
The teddy bear you gave me that one day… I still have it. I’ve been taking good care of it.
The darkness of the night is scary...it makes me more aware of how lonely I am..."

I played this at the same time as POSTAL 2 -- a game where you blow people's brains out for being too slow in line. I can confidently say that POSTAL fazed me not, and this game wrapped a rope around my psyche. Am I being watched right now? Probably. Scar of the Doll makes you FEEL it. Ah! These eyes are so coarse on my frail skin! Every decision is so tense, who knew I'd be uptight about dinky JPEGs and paper mache blood? I care a lot about our inquisitive protagonist and I want to see her through to the end. The game is plodding though and she likes to ruminate. But I'm as patient as a thing that is patient so I say ruminate, girl. Tell me your thoughts and take the trip to your goal one creeping step at a time. I'll be with you the whole way...3 found this helpful
I played the Remake right after playing the original game - that's how impressed I was by this one. While the Remake adds a certain emotionality to the characters and story, the original sucks you in through its unique atmosphere. It's a fast paced mystery with a little bit of trial and error that feels outdated from time to time, but it's still a really cool story with very interesting themes. You really can't go wrong with these action-packed 3 hours of a game.2 found this helpful

I wanted to like it. I saw a video essay on YouTube that didnt spoil anything and decided to give it a try. It underwhelmed my expectations by a wide margin. It’s very clunky, slow, repetitive, and the surprise can be guessed from the beginning. Do not recommend.
[h1][b] Scar of the 90s [/b][/h1] First, praise given for resurrecting this "choose your own adventure" horror VN from the CD-ROM era, in a playable state on modern machines. Second, forgiveness for the slightly dated game mechanics. Like repeating all the intro text everytime you return to a menu after a choice. Or manual save system. Finally, appreciation for the quality story, and the game taking us right back to the 90s. And that this a VN where you can die! Advisory: The English localisation of this game is serviceable, but rather clunky.
Chill horror game 90's vibe kinda fun
