The game could be incredible if done right but I was expecting more of a coherent story and some lore because of the way the set up is before moving to working on the dolls. I even played through to see if there was any kind of cutscene at the end for a story. Unfortunately I was highly disappointed. I could forgive the lack of storyline if there were different dolls and accessories each time instead of the same doll. I loved the outfits and makeup but the sheer amount of ads was frustrating.

So it has great potential but um... There's a weird sound that plays on repeat after reaching a certain step and only stops when you close the app window. I turned all of the game sound off in settings before I even started so that doesn't help. It's like a moaning sound that almost sounds erotic and it's very disturbing. There's also a few too many ads which kinda ruins the atmosphere (btw the moaning still plays during them)

Way too many ads. There's an ad every 3 to 5 seconds of play. It takes away from the quality of the game. Would be better if maybe an ad every 5 mins but seconds is way too much. To get extra stuff, more ads, I believe they just have all the ads every few seconds so that you will buy the premium to stop that ads but heard from other reviewers that doesn't stop the ads. Uninstalled, and don't recommend.

1 is the lowest i could go.. 1. Way too many adds. 2. If you watch adds to unlock certains things, itll sometimes glitch and reset all your progress, making you have to rewatch the adds again. 3. Artstyle is good, but the animations is a bit off. I revisited the game multiple times to see if it was better, but it just gets worse. An honest 0 stars from me.

I dont know how you made a game so creepy and soothing all at the same time, but I love it! I love the outfits you can choose for the dolls, especially the clown and steampunk ones. My only issue is that they lock the outfit choices behind ads even though you already have to watch ads between levels and an ad banner at the bottom of the screen. I also dislike how inappropriate some of the ads are. I would also like to actually see the stories play out rather than just title and a picture.

Pretty good idle distraction so far. Ads are a real nuisance unless you pay to take them away but other than that it's pretty chill. My kind of aesthetic. It needs a lot more variety and options that aren't locked behind so many ads. It feels like I've watched more ads than played the game. It has the potential there but we need to get more creative with it. Edit For Reply: I'm excited for future updates then! I hope we can get more story as well! Then the ads would be easier to deal with.

It's fun at first, there's several ways to dress up and do the makeup for rhe different dolls. But, there's only one free option for each feature (eyes, clothes, etc.) of the doll, if you want a different one you have to watch an ad. On top of that, once you play through repairing each doll once, it gets really repetitive and there's really not enough story to make it worth playing every level over again to get the full story. You also have to play each level 4 times to get the full story.

It won't stop crashing. It's a cute little point and click game, but when my screen turns into a strobe light 30 seconds after I open the app and I lose my progress, it's just not worth it anymore. Very simplistic, the ad locked tools don't do anything more than the defaults, the "stories" are just an image, and every level consists of the exact same steps. Would've loved to finish it regardless, but it's just become literally impossible to progress

I do like the concept here but the slow fade transitions and slow animations get annoying pretty fast (especially for an ADHD person). I don't mind having to watch an add for the different options too much, but having to see one (even if skippable) at some point during EVERY "step" of the restoration is also pretty annoying. Otherwise I see a lot of potential for this game. The graphics are good and it's got a fun spooky atmosphere. Just the constant interruptions of ads & animations annoy me.

The first doll is cute. But after that the game quickly gets creepy, with dolls straight from horror movies. The third doll's backstory even has a creepy kidnapper/pervert type character. Very unsettling. Also, it's hard to imagine anyone paying $5-$30 just to unlock all the makeup options. Will be looking for a similar game that's less disturbing.

You'd think it's reasonable enough that the game would make you watch an ad for extra features, but it bombards you with ads despite that while trying to play the game. Not only that, but the controls are VERY frustrating and you keep having to wait through a lot of interactions instead of doing them yourself. I wish there were a smooth and efficient flow to the gameplay instead of occasionally passing the microphone awkwardly to the player and making you wait through so much unneeded scenes.

I'm sad because the premise is so cool and so are the graphics. But the tools are glitchy and there are so many ads. I watched 5 before I was even halfway through the first doll. Literally every three steps there is an ad. If they just kept it to optional ads I'd be fine but it's such a bummer that you have optional ads plus the constant ones.

I really wanted to like this game... but remove a screw and have to change screens, take off it's socks and change screens. 3-4 simple actions like that and of course its ad time (multiple ads with some of them being over a minute long). Sorry it is just too frustrating when you can't even get a playing rhythm started. Uninstalled in less than a week.

This would be an excellent game to waste time with... Definitely not when free though. They push ads like crazy. Every 2 moves you have to watch an ad to continue. Then if you want something other than the base option, you have to watch an ad to get it. Normally I'm fine with a few ads. They've obviously put effort into this game with the stories and animation-gotta get paid! But it's hard to actually play the game with so many ads. And you can't play 1 story straight through which is annoying.

The idea and artstyle is excellent and interesting but I think the execution could be better. The stories don't go anywhere and they feel disjointed. Some more focus on story and continuity would be great. The english is a little broken, some googling could fix that. I can tell what they're trying to say but it's a little annoying. And the ads- maybe we could unlock all the options in the step after one ad instead of individually? And when the camera moves the tool doesnt. Its disorienting.

Gameplay is dull. It's just tapping wherever you're told to. I wish it was more freeform; the game has so many steps in the wrong order and actions that don't make sense that letting the player have more control over when they happen can't mess up the flow, anyway. Also it's an ad farm, but I'm sure everyone was expecting that. The concept is a fun and creative twist on the genre, though. There's a good variety in the types of dolls and in how each can be customized.

I'm editing my first review: The overall game play is beautiful, from the graphics, details and story. After making my previous review, I had time to ponder as to why I seemed harsh. This is a well made game and deserves a play! Previous review: It is a good distraction. Many many ads. I'd love to have an option to remove the guiding hand and allow us to use a tool inventory to repair the doll at your own pace.

Pretty fun game, lots of ads but pretty easy mechanically. My only complaint is that I HAVE to play it as 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, etc. and since there seems to be a story by the time I reach the last one and it takes me to 1-2, I have no idea what's happening. and It's sad because I can't see the dialog again unless I replay the levels. Love to be able to just run through each dolls story as I please but good game.

The game is exactly what it advertised, and it is refreshing. The game is pretty fun, and I do like the outside of the box ideas for the doll/characters. However, that doesn't mean it's flawless. For starters, it feels like they're WAY to many character. there are a lot of filler characters and some that copy the same formula and don't stand out, for example, fallen leaf doll and noble. Some also don't have different gameplay, and getting to the meat of the characters takes so long. +Weirdcore

It's fun, but the ads are way too obnoxious to actually enjoy the game. $4 to get rid of ads is crazy and having and ad after every 2 steps is stupid (not exaggerating). It's fun if you're doing something in the background but if you want to sit down and play a satisfying game, don't get this one. I understand ads are needed for free games, but you can have ads without them being after every step, maybe after every full level since they don't take too long.
