Preface

I don’t usually play horror games or review games but I am a fan of film noir which is why this has gotten my attention and I hope it gets more attention as I think it will have a cult following in a few years.

Intro

You play as Marie, a standard private eye that is basically Carmen Sandiego, instead of travelling the world stealing things, you are travelling in her mind stealing memories instead. You will be hunted down by some sort of entity in a cat & mouse experience. During your stay, you will fight different enemy types, solve a lot of puzzles, and analyze things for clues. In the end, you find out that it culminates to something very interesting and definitely worth your time as its something only unique to you, not anyone else.

Good

- A very interesting story that welcomes multiple playthroughs with a genius ending
- Interesting “Focus” mechanic that lets you see through the monster’s eyes and look for objectives
- A nice variety of abilities that players can unlock and use.
- A good variety of environments
- A nice variety of enemy types
- Amazing music & voice acting
- Inclusion of an aptly named “Voyeur” mode where players can play without dying
- Decent campaign length with a lot of replay value

Bad

- Confusing/ not enough information for mechanics/ elements
- Repetitive gameplay
- Still has bugs (I know the devs are hard at work fixing them, I can’t imagine how it was at launch)
- Can’t find a match for Multiplayer (I guess there aren’t enough players)

Summary

Dollhouse isn't your average horror game. It tries a lot of new things while some worked, some didn’t. If you are a fan of horror or film noir I urge you to check this game out. You won’t regret it!

Fun good game
