✦ AI summary

The doll successfully combines charming pixel art and fitting music with an engaging horror-tinged story that creates genuine emotional investment despite its brevity. Players appreciate the spooky atmosphere and dual endings that encourage replay, though some wish for more interactivity and greater length. Most players feel satisfied with their experience and consider it worth playing, particularly at its modest price point.

This game made me emotionally attached to an evil possessed doll. Very cute game, the artstyle and music are awesome and very fitting, while the story is unfortunately really short but entertaining and even made me a bit sentimental lol. The scary moments are great too. I think it would've been nice if it was more interactive, so that you could for example reach an additional ending where the protagonist doesn't realize that the doll's spirit is evil or decides to not perform the happiness ritual at all. But for the price I'm not disappointed at all! <3

The game is very unique with both endings and the art style is just so fitting for it. Some translations seem a bit off but nothing to serious. all in all a very good game and fun to replay too! ✩

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
