Our take on Dollmare
The focus on inspection and unease gives up direct action: there are no fights, resource struggles, monster pursuits, or jump scares. Its tension instead comes from routine factory duties, changing events, and the expectation that something disturbing may occur.
What is Dollmare?
Dollmare is a horror game set in a doll factory, where a desperate worker accepts a suspicious job.
Gameplay centers on examining dolls for unusual defects and behavior, allowing only safe dolls to continue through production. Work also includes maintaining factory machinery, exploring its darker areas, following unusual safety procedures, and investigating the facility's secrets. The game avoids combat, resource management, monster chases, and sudden jump scares, but uses unease and oppressive tension. Playthroughs vary because many events are not scripted, so encounters can change from one session to another. The worker must complete the job while trying to preserve both sanity and life.
