Is TinkerQuarry worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- RPG players who want a compact, uncanny setting rather than a conventional fantasy world
- Adventure players who enjoy environmental puzzles and exploratory progression
- Players who like stories involving unusual companions, sentient toys, and pursuing threats
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat-focused RPG systems may find the stated emphasis on puzzles and exploration insufficient
- Players who prefer relaxed exploration may bounce off the pursuit by Stayawhile and hostile creatures
- Players looking for a broad open world may find the floor-based dollhouse setting too contained
Our take on TinkerQuarry
The likely bounce point comes when exploration shifts into puzzle solving under threat. Players who want a combat-led RPG may hit a wall as the game asks them to investigate markings, navigate dollhouse floors, and deal with Stayawhile’s pursuit.
What is TinkerQuarry?
TinkerQuarry is an RPG set in The Dollhouse, an uncanny plane where a young girl wakes inside a strange room.
Accompanied by a rabbit, she explores its floors while seeking a way out. The journey includes puzzles, unusual markings, and encounters with sentient toys that may be friendly or hostile. Rats, Tinkers, and other dangerous creatures inhabit the halls. A being called Stayawhile pursues the pair and seeks to imprison everything within his world.
