⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Witch’s Doll is a really solid little jump-scare horror game. The atmosphere is creepy, the scares hit hard, and it does exactly what it sets out to do. I honestly wish there were more horror games like this — short, intense, and focused on pure scares. It’s especially worth it if you grab it on sale, where the price feels more than fair. And hey, you can finish it in under 2 hours… so technically you could refund it — but honestly, it’s so fun it deserves to stay in your library 😄
Witch’s Doll was a total surprise for me. I bought it because it popped up in my recommended feed, and I needed a quick game to play on stream while waiting for another release. I’d never even heard of it before—and now I’m honestly shocked I hadn’t. Because this game is legitimately good. It’s short, but not too short. It feels complete and satisfying without dragging things out or ending so fast that you’re annoyed. The graphics are awesome, and the environment design does a fantastic job of making everything feel creepy and unsettling from start to finish. Vibe-wise? It gave me strong Ethel, Claire, and Madison energy—and if you know me, you know that’s high praise. Those are hard games to top, and while Witch’s Doll isn’t trying to be them, it absolutely lives in that same unsettling space. The story isn’t 100% original, but there’s enough of a twist that I didn’t mind at all. It kept me invested without feeling lazy or predictable. The puzzles were well balanced—easy enough to not stall the gameplay, but not so obvious that you’re just handed the answers. And the jumpscares? On point. Well-timed, effective, and spaced out just right. Overall, Witch’s Doll is a really solid horror experience and an easy recommendation for horror fans. If you’re looking for a short-but-quality indie horror game that nails atmosphere and tension, definitely give this one a shot. 🧸👀

I have had Witch's Doll for a while and I admit I only purchased it because the screenshot I saw of it was really scary. A little too scary because I would pass it over when deciding which game to play next. With some Pepperoni Pizza with Pineapple and a nice and thin crusty crust in me I put my big boy pants on and braved the Scary Screenshot. The game loaded in to that familiar Spooky Ass apartment building in every scary Russian horror game and I knew I was in for it. And was I ever! jump scares, power outages and a really cute kitty that I got to pet, I bit my tongue, may or may not have peed a little if I am being honest and said OMG probably a dozen times, I enjoyed myself a lot. I recommend it and give it a solid 7.5 out of 10. I am not going to lie. I would have given it a little higher score but the walking pace was brutal! I played the VHS mode which had a more cinematic look and vibe to the game and that was one of the features, increased walking speed. If that was increased walking speed, I would hate to see what the default mode would have been like. Over all though it wasn't a game breaker for me, just pulled me out of my immersion every so often... buy it play it review it... its worth it.
This was a great game. The graphics were good, the storyline was good and there was a good amount of jump scares. I will definitely be recommending this game to others.
This Game is Insane, 10000000000/10-
fantastic game... https://youtu.be/-gykgFVuM00
Моё личное мнение: графика — 8/10, сюжет — 1/10, скримеры — 6/10. Я заметил тенденцию, что большинство хоррор-игр, действие которых происходит в России, имеют один и тот же сюжет: старая панелька, куклы, соседки — всё одинаковое. Скримеры действительно страшные, но большинство из них предсказуемые, поэтому со временем перестают пугать. Есть две главные проблемы, которые полностью портят впечатление от игры. Во-первых, у главного персонажа будто прострелены колени - иначе я не могу объяснить, почему он ходит как 90-летний дед. Во-вторых, игра наполнена тупыми «логическими» задачами, которые по сути не имеют смысла и лишь тратят время игрока, искусственно растягивая геймплей. По моему мнению, игра должна длиться 40-45 минут, но из-за медлительности персонажа и бессмысленных задач прохождение растягивается до двух часов. Для меня это обычный проходной хоррор - максимум на 6 из 10 баллов. А покупать его или нет - решать вам.
Honestly, screw this game. In the nicest way possible.
Please make a part 2 and let me finish what we started. Good game. Would recommend.
A Good and a Bad...loved the game...very tense atmosphere, great mood background music...great jump scares and good puzzles...but the Bad - there is no save option...I'm not on my 3rd time having to start all the way back at entering the Old Lady's apartment to search, even after going all the way thru past the "red door" room...takes 30 -45 mins to get back there everytime...need to add a save at the entrance to that room...
