The Doll Beneath

Not enough forcefemming, I thought Akio was going to be made to wear a pretty dress, I was sorely dissapointed.

I did NOT expect this game to be so good. The gameplay, the story, the plot twists… everything was really nice and fun. Boss fights were challenging, and frustratingly fun. I like how the character arcs of each of the characters progressed over the episodes. However, I do wish the game had ended somewhere around ep3. The last two episodes didn’t hit as well as the first three. Felt a little dragged. The entirety of ep5, I had faced issues with the game being laggy and crashing frequently. I hadn’t faced this with any of the other episodes. Overall, a good game. I’m looking forward to playing more from the devs. ^^

RPG Maker strikes again! This is yet another low effort pixelcrap RPG Maker asset flip made with the RPG Maker game construction kit (designed for children to use). Almost every RPG Maker asset flip is just a bunch of stock RPG Maker assets mixed with cringe-inducing high school anime club dropout fan-fiction. The "developer" here didn't know how to make a JRPG with RPG Maker, which is the only thing it's for, and instead, worse, copy + pasted out a primitive top down "adventure" game that's more e-book than actual game you can play... this is a game you have to read. And wow... the writing is painfully cringey high school anime club dropout fan-fiction writing about the author and his relationships with his imaginary anime friends. The plot follows the author being trapped with people so they have to be his friends, in an underground research facility, so you WASD your way around the asset flipped RPG Maker backdrop to reveal more and more cringey e-book writing. Like other RPG Maker "games", the game engine is extremely low quality. It displays badly in fullscreen, and has no real graphics settings or HD support. It's not up to the same standard we expect from a modern PC game. We can make the argument that construction kit toys like RPG Maker are intended for making small games and demos and things to pass around with friends. They shouldn't be used as a substitute or "Ez-mode" to allow unqualified amateurs to LARP that they're real, actual game developers. This is just more RPG Maker pixelcrap. The crap graphics are met with even worse gameplay, in no small part to RPG Maker itself being crap, and when combining that with talentless, unqualified developers using a childrens toy to pretend to be real game developers with these fan-fictions, gamers suffer. There's an overwhelming amount of mediocre Visual Novel/E-book style cutscenes in this game. The developers failed one of the most basic, fundamental requirements of game design.. "Show, don't tell." So you'll spend a huge amount of time not playing the game, but clicking through endless lines of poorly written VN text cutscenes because the developers couldn't work out how to relate their narrative through the game mechanics, and decided instead it would be better to compete with reading a book for your time. We're here to play games, not read through hours of garbage intersituals. Your gaming rig is not a Kindle. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" section is truly free, there's usually some hidden price tag), at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. A peak of [b]8 concurrent players[/b] (according to SteamDB) for a "free" game is a disastrous public reception. Out of 130 million potential players here on Steam, almost nobody was interested. Even though this is "free". That level of rejection speaks a lot for the quality of the game. This "free" game won't count toward your game collection count on your profile. With that in mind, is it something you should still download? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. I didn't pay money, but I still feel ripped off. One final note, there's so many games on Steam, it would be impossible for anyone to play all of them in one lifetime (although I am trying). As gamers, our time is important and we have the luxury of choosing between so many games... but so many of them are so badly made, often unethically through incompetence or greed, so I think it's important for gamers to help each other find the games that deserve our time. If you don't agree with my review here, prove me wrong, download this game and play it for yourself. My reviews are just intended to help gamers make informed choices, and I hope they help you, too.

Игра 'The Doll Beneath' – это кошмарное погружение в глубины человеческой психики, обернутое в оболочку психологического хоррора. Атмосфера игры пропитана гнетущим страхом и постоянным ощущением надвигающейся угрозы. Сюжет, хоть и кажется прямолинейным на первый взгляд, постепенно раскрывается, подкидывая игроку всё более жуткие детали, заставляя сомневаться в реальности происходящего. Визуальный стиль намеренно грубый и зернистый, что лишь усиливает эффект дискомфорта. Звуковое сопровождение - это отдельный вид искусства, способный посеять панику даже в самой тихой комнате. Шорохи, вздохи, скрипы - каждый звук работает на создание атмосферы паранойи. Геймплей сводится к исследованию локаций и решению головоломок, которые, впрочем, не отличаются особой сложностью. Главный акцент сделан на погружении в атмосферу и переживании психологического ужаса. 'The Doll Beneath' не пытается напугать скримерами, она давит на психику, играя с подсознательными страхами игрока. Если вы ищете игру, способную надолго оставить вас в состоянии тревоги и задумчивости, то это именно то, что вам нужно. Игра не для слабонервных.

It's a nice game but I think it's playthrough length is too long and it loses it's edge

Lovely story
