the game is really good, I was surprised because of the jump scares, frankie is annoying but fun, wow, nice developer. If you like, check out my YouTube video, I hope you like it!
not sure if it's just me, but after the lockbox puzzle in the upstairs room from spawn, the game gets stuck on something and i cannot move forward. my first playthrough, the key was invisible for the small room. i feel like this game has potential, but i can't get further than this ): it's genuinely spooked me, too!
This game is so much fun with some really solid puzzles. I loved the overall premise. The personality of the characters really shine which is hard to do in horror games and you end up growing fondness to some of these demented creatures. There were a few points that I got a bit stuck and a little more direction of what to do would definitely help, but in no means does it make the game unplayable and is still a very enjoyable experience. Mad props to the creator, I can't wait to see what else you will make. This game is truly a dollhouse of terrors.
The Martha's Dolls demo was promising with a very eerie atmosphere and some pretty nice graphics that added to that eerie feeling.
Unfortunately, the finished game didn't convince me.
The game can basically be completed in half an hour, there is actually no story (Martha wants to kill her monster dolls, but the monster dolls kill Martha - still a better love story than Twilight), the few puzzles are "look two rooms further for the key or the combination for the safe", the jump scares become foreseeable pretty fast and the dolls themselves are basically not used at all.
Actually, nothing about the game convinced me and even the €5-6 the devs were asking for are too much. It has neither story nor real horror and the puppets could have been integrated much better, plus the cheap jump scares, which were mostly completely predictable.
I also can't understand why the player has this video camera with them. You can see better without it, the batteries are empty within seconds and when you die, the collected batteries remain in your inventory, which means that if you die several times (like me because of a bug) your inventory will soon be full of them. As I said, you don't need this because you can actually see worse with the camera even with nightvision than without it.
The puppets were initially given different characteristics, but after that they were never used again except for Syrachio, because everyone had the same boring jump scares. Here you could have included a short stealth section for Syrachio, a hide-and-seek game with Fredie, who you have to find before he gets too impatient, or a short running away sequence with Cecilia becoming hungry. Arthur could have been used a little as the leader of the dolls, who you have to convince with diplomacy or something like that in order to escape the house. Maybe you have to complete a task for him that he needs your help with, becuase only a human can to whatever he asks for.
I also had the bug that Syrachio kept killing me upstairs in the first room (the one next to the stairs), even though she was standing downstairs in the living room, meaning I had to play this entire section easily five times after entering the house.
There a some very good ideas, but the game feels very rushed in it's current state.
You forget it a Solo Developer Game , It not perfect , I made it in 5 months and Solo , If You want a perfect game you can play AAA Games , and Thanks for your feedback
I am aware that you are a single developer, but there are definitely bugs (like Syrachio attacking from another floor) and a few missed opportunities (I mentioned the different characters of the dolls, that are in no way used beside the same jumpscares over and over). This has nothing to do with needing the game to be AAA (in fact I play a lot of indie games and I like them) and I don't expect a perfect game, but I will give an honest review of games that I played. There are very nice ideas in this game and I liked the atmosphere, I am sure you will continue making good games.
I think this is a really good game, I may very well end up playing the full version. The jumpscares are very well timed and well done. I think the game looks beautiful and is very visually appealing, I also like the creepy background sounds and noises.
Here is my gameplay ready to premiere for 5PM GMT.
I thought this was Excellent! I hope you will enjoy my playthrough when it does release. I think was quite terrifying in a lot of areas. The jumpscares were nice and all got to me good. Anyways, make sure to press "Notify me" So you do not miss out
PS I also left a review for you on steam :) Cannot wait for what more comes from you!
I wanted so badly to like this game. While there are good moments in here, and majority of the jumpscares work and are effective, the story is a mess, especially the final act of the game. The voice acting seems majority AI and unbelievable. I do however like the variety with the dolls and their characteristics! I hope you can learn from the feedback and use it to make some more great stuff! Looking forward to future projects of yours!
