Our take on DOLLMAKER
Its focus on run decisions, item combinations, and doll-part effects means success depends on adapting builds and placements rather than relying on one fixed setup. That flexibility comes with a more involved preparation process before and during each level.
What is DOLLMAKER?
Play as an anthropomorphic rat moving through Willoughby in a first-person shooter combined with tower defense.
Gather eggs from defeated enemies and use them to buy items outside levels. Prepare defenses by selecting items, altering their effects with a mutator, and choosing loadouts and placements for each level. Damage enemies by combining effects from items, weapons, and the doll ability. Upgrades can improve damage, item speed, or inventory restocking, while boons alter gameplay effects and other systems. Collecting doll parts grants terminal points faster. Parts also provide in-level perks and abilities, allowing the doll to change as runs progress.
