    Several interesting ideas and game mechanics have been totally wasted in this first person psychological-terror adventure plenty of bugs and technical issues.

    Dollhouse begins with a lot of potential, but after a few levels of repetitive gameplay, the horror elements start to lose their impact. What starts as a trip through a disturbed mind quickly becomes monotonous, and Marie's story suffers as a result.

    Pros: Immersive story, great aesthetic, fun puzzles, and a new and interesting concept for a cat and mouse style game.

    Cons: Gameplay can get a bit repetitive, there were quite a few bugs on release (day two patch fixed any I encountered), and multiplayer remains in beta until a week after release. Overview:
    In Dollhouse you enter the mind of Marie, who has amnesia. You have to collect film canisters and extract memories and later decide which memories to keep or destroy. Mannequins, and the antagonist "It" are constantly pursuing you, but sightswap/focus lets you see from the eyes of "It" and ping memories. Dollhouse uses procedural generation to keep the game fresh each chapter, and the house and hospital levels are especially creepy. Devs took a risk with trying a new concept, and I think it paid off. Unfortunately the initial bugs on launch have hurt reviews, but the team is active in communicating with their community and patching quickly. Absolutely love this game, I have gotten two different endings so far and after the first patch it ran smoothly at 60fps. The 1950s noir aesthetic and refreshing focus on narrative have won me over.
