The Haunted Dolls

https://youtu.be/7W3oeBQQFvk **Edit** So the dev did file a copyright complaint against my play through so now none of you will get to see the game or him commenting "♥♥♥♥ you this game is good" but you will forever know how bitter they were about someone disliking their game and handling it with the grace and maturity of a 12 year old. But these words will live on forever! **Edit** The intro video alone is enough to see that there is something very off about this game. You begin the game driving down a dark and quiet road when in the distance a clown appears in the middle. When I say in the distance I mean way the ♥♥♥♥ in the distance and considering your character is only driving at 50 mph you have plenty of time to react but choose to wait until you are about 5 feet to swerve into the grass and proceed to drive for a few football lengths before running into a fence. Now it might seem nit picky but I did the math on this. With your character going 50 mph and driving for 6 seconds You are driving at about 73 feet per second giving you over 400 feet to stop which is about triple the amount of reaction needed but yet your character continues on the straight and narrow straight into the fence. Why am I bringing this up? It really sets the stage for the rest of the game. My experience from start to finish felt like an uphill battle. The first glaring issue is a lot of the perspectives and object sizes are just odd and will rip you from the immersion. When you encounter your first door your eye level is at the door handle which would make you around 3 feet tall shortly after you pass out? Or something I dunno and you wake up in a kitchen but now all the counters and tables are level with your knees meaning the kitchen would have to be around a foot off the ground. Since a lot of the assets are reused you'll find that sometimes you are much larger or much smaller than objects and with the way the game works if you back track at a different time you will have either grown or shrunk. A lot of the assets are weirdly smooth and shiny which really stand and a few of them have weird lighting physics when shining the flashlight near them. Running is slower than walking for the majority of the game but changes at the very end to be faster which throws you off and you'll still be spamming the run button even when you know it wont do anything. Speaking of back tracking. That is this game through and through. You will spend 100% of your time backtracking to find objects because certain objects do not exist until you activate a trigger. You might be wondering what the ♥♥♥♥ im talking about? Let me give you two situations that ruined everything for me and made me cry for my $10 back. In the main area of the game there is a little nook that has nothing in it. As you progress eventually the power will go out and you'll be tasked to find the fuse box. Once you get the objective the fuse box will magically appear and you can turn the power back on. Which doesn't actually matter because while the powers off you can turn on lamps and when you turn the power back on you still can't use light switches. The second and much worse situation is when you have to find 5 dolls and a letter and bring them back to the other end of the house. You have to find each doll one at a time and bring them back which means only one exist in the game at a time. That's 6 times you have to recheck every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ room in the house. You get a gun at one point in the game but as far as I can tell it doesn't do anything. None of the enemies actually damage you they mostly just scream way too loud and then crawl away. Speaking of enemies you do have a health bar but I think the only way you can die is by jumping off the banister. The jump scares are cheap and after back tracking through rooms for the 10th time you the suspense is dead. You'll be checking the same bedroom for the 20th time just to see a woman scream at you then disappear. The only thing that works well in this game is the flash light. The batteries dont run out too fast. That's it.
