About String Tyrant
A stranger appearing from a sudden storm.
The sheltering doorway of a lonely manor.
Unliving dolls smiling emptily as they chase you down.
They just want you to join them. Forever.
String Tyrant is a survival horror game where you must look, think, hide, and if necessary, fight your way out of a mysterious mansion filled with monsters and traps.
If you're defeated by a monster or fall for a trap, you'll be ensnared by the manor's residents - and join them to hunt your former friends. At least you'll be a pretty doll.
The game has an active card-based combat system where you build combos using your magical cards. You can hear nearby enemies through doors and walls, can open and close doors to try to break line-of-sight, and must contend with traps that will tax your wits. You'll need to unlock the secrets of the manor to stand a real chance of escape.
A free demo is provided. Please ensure system compatibility with the demo before purchasing the full game.
The demo covers the first "phase" of the game, featuring one enemy types, three doll types, and two endings. The full game contains more enemy types, traps, environmental hazards, new equipment, and the rest of the game's story.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I found this game not long after it first came out on itch.io and the day I opened the game I feel in love with it instantly. I played through the entire game in one day and night getting every ending and seeing everything it has to offer as fast as I could because I loved it so much. While this game is far from the only factor in this I will say that when I found this game I was just starting to discover that I might be trans (turns out I am) and it was one of the things that helped me finally realize that I was. This game means a lot to me and I'm very happy I found it when I did. I'm planning to go back and replay it soon so I can have all the achievements on steam. Thank you for making this game Bottled starlight and I'm happy to say I've loved all the games you've been working on after making this one.2 found this helpful
For the price it asks, it's an alright game, if you're a fan of storytelling and transformations, you will enjoy 5 hours of this, another 4 if you go for hard mode. If you buy this for the card aspect of this game, you'll be left disappointed, it's very superficial, there's so little you can do to change your deck, so much so I'm sure you can finish the game from the beginning to the end without ever modifying the deck.
Very rare game that brings the mechanic of joining enemy side instead of instant lose. I'd like to see more games like this one, when interesting gameplay and story make you ignore cheap visual style (it's nice in its own way, but still far from modern graphics. Do not consider game's graphics as disadvandage!).
Very quaint little game with some really fun original mechanics and a surprisingly interesting story and characters. Art style is charming and the endings are nice as well. The only things I could possibly complain about is that [spoiler]JessieXMary[/spoiler] has any relevance only... three times? and that the game doesn't have something special for completing it on hard difficulty despite the achievement for it suggesting otherwise.
This is a good game. A bit small for my taste, but the atmosphere makes up for it. Fighting most enemies feels dangerous and the further you go off from the beaten path, the more scary it is to open doors and the more carefully you play. By the end of the game, that feeling dies down a bit - you've learned the mechanics and found the best equipment, but it happens late enough to complete the game due to the story (also quite curious).
So this is a game I recommend. It's made by a friend of mine who makes another game I really enjoy called Pandemonium. I don't enjoy this as much, but it's made with so much love and care that I can't not recommend it! So it plays out like a turn based, tile based resident evil 1. The part of zombies is played by dolls and if you get downed you get turned into a doll or something similar. It keeps tension because combat is stacked against you, and you lose resources with each encounter. I'm not a fan of horror personally, but the combat system is fun once you get the knack of it. The storyline is pretty well crafted and certainly distinctive. On the whole if you like the stuff it's about, the genre it's in, I recommend trying it. It has a demo.
