HOW TO PLAY:
Start by ringing the bell. After doing so, you'll receive a doll and a test sheet. There are 5 tests you MUST do with each doll. Audio Test, Name Call Test, Photograph Capture Test, Temperature Test and Physical Discomfort Test. After completing a test, you can mark it's result in the test sheet. After finishing all tests, you'll determine if the doll is "Ok" or "Dangerous".

Even with the game missing from the browser, you guys somehow manage to still let it raise and raise! Thank you all so much! I am happy to say that the endless mode is looking good so far, I've been working on it whenever I could, pretty much if I am not at school / work / with my friends or my dog, I am doing the endless mode update. Thank you all so much again, every like, rating, video, playthrough, view, download, comment helps a TON! Ya'll amazing <3
hi i just played the game and i loved it it scared me a couple of times but its the best game I've played in the horror genre please continue updating it and i just wanted to ask if its ok if i use the screenshots you have of the game on the site because i forgot to get a thumbnail i just have an issue with the graphics its hard to read some stuff but i figured out what i needed to do but i loved the game please update it more.
Thank you for your lovely words <3, we certainly will continue with updates and other titles!
And yeah, using the screenshot on this page is totally fine, go for it!
I really hope this game can become bigger and bigger. I will sponsor and support it. My God, this is truly an extraordinarily good horror game.
Thank you so much!! It's been difficult for our game to stay relevant, because itch.io seems bugged. It hid the game from the browser and it is only accessible through direct links and google (or other browsers) and admins have not yet responded with my problem. (But they did ban the scammer, that stole this project).
I am working on an update, that will also be posted to steam right now! Seeing yours and other peoples comments really keeps me on it! So thank you once more <3
Yes, I couldn't find your game on itch.io, but luckily I saw it because I followed you. I'm looking forward to your work, keep it up, or you could set up a Discord, that would make support and interaction more convenient.
This FUCKING game is the best, one of the better horror games that i've ever played, made me shit myself. 1000/10 thank you for not making throwing away Tina the right option.
Dang, thank you! That is quite the review xP, seriously, thank you, and of course! Tina was neutral, so it's up to the player's judgement, but most decided to save her, rightfully so :P
I had an amazing time playing Play Things! The concept of inspecting dolls to determine if they're haunted is both unique and chilling. Each doll has its own backstory and personality, making the experience feel fresh and engaging. The atmosphere is tense, and the subtle horror elements kept me on edge throughout.
Sorry for the week-after reply!! Thank you so much for your video! I am really happy that you enjoyed the gameplay loop of the Story mode! Words like yours seriously inspire me to create more! So thank you once more <3
will this be optimized more? (HP EliteBook 840 G6, crashes at random point, before actually can start playing, after starting game)
I checked the specs, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bring down the requirements with the engine I use (that being Unreal Engine 5). I am sorry, but the optimization part, while it will be expanded, you'll very likely not be able to run the game on this device
Which specs are the problems? I was given my laptop by someone known from family who works as tech, so might be modified, IDK If those specs are improved from the regular model.
From what I've found, this laptop has a Intel UHD 620 integrated graphics card, which is way below UE5 standard, also, 8 GB RAM is below the recommended, but that's not the main issue. I'd say the graphics card, used b this laptop, is just not strong enough to run our game. I am sorry about this, but given the engine we use, this will not change.
The idea of judging dolls through five eerie tests was both creative and unsettling, with each character adding depth to the story.
Thanks for making such a unique horror experience—I played it in Japanese and shared a gameplay video here: 🎥
I’ve already seen all the endings, and I’m excited to follow your future works!
Thank you so much for your review and video! It's awesome to see the game popular abroad! I really hope that you'll enjoy our future projects, that we're working on for you amazing people <3
i busted a nut to the game, so well made, scared the shit out of me. i NEED an endless mode, i BEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha! Thank you so much! It's in active development, alongside other projects, but I must say it's going to get close as soon as school starts :/. Still, thank you so much for your fun and nice review!
Hello! Just wanted to let you know about a situation that happened to me and a few other developers on itch.io. (By today, it has been resolved) Our games were stolen and re-uploaded. It was our projects with the same name and the user who reuploaded these games also put the games behind a pay wall. It's a scam. This may also be the reason why you cannot find Play Things on the itch.io browser. Everyone who is reading this got to this page via direct link, unless it has been fixed.
But there are good news. I would like to show gratitude towards lyn-marie / charlene (as they are known as on discord). This game is still de-indexed and I will talk to them about it, but I want to give it time, since they clearly have a lot on their plate. They responded to many people on the itch.io discord, and they have shown clear signs of interest and they have been extremly helpful to a lot of people, myself included.
They are the admin of the official itch.io discord server, and I just wanted to write this comment to really show how nice it is to see someone show interest and help however they can, even if so many people need it at once.
Amazing game really enjoyed it from start to finish got all of the endings definitely looking forward to play more of your games
Thank you so much! I too look forward to witnessing the enjoyment people get from our titles!
Me gusto mea suste
Gracias! :P ^˘^
I totally forgot to write an actual review afterwards lol. Honestly this is a great game, I was like anxious all of the time not knowing what I had in my hands lol. I managed to get all 4 endings and I gotta say Im impressed. Really cool and simple concept and super well executed. All of the background lore for each doll also means a lot since Im a lore nerd lol
Thank you for your heartwarming review! And absolutely same, lore nerd to a 100 over here. I love stories and deeper levels within them and I hope to expand on the story we've started here soon!
This game is something else, in a positive way and I only achieved 2 of the 4 endings
GG, 5 out of 5
I'm sorry for the censorship that itch.io is committing against your game tho
Thank you so much!! I saw the rating you left, I always appreciate it! ^˘^
Yeah, it sucks, it still hasn't returned, and I had no answers given to me yet, but a lot of people find the game through youtube or twitch, therefor they search for it on google, which does take you to this page. Just not when browsing on itch itself
Heya people! Thank you for your continuous support on this title, the team and I are at work with the new titles, including the awaited "endless mode" update! I hope that you are as excited as we are!
Unfortunately, for some reason, the game is unlisted in the search bar and in the browse section of the itch io page. I have no idea why this happened. I have read a document talking about this, and it says that the reasons for this are a secret. We have fought for the top 30, 20 and even top 10 spot on the popular horror games, thanks to you amazing people, every click, download, rating and comment helps a ton with the algorythm and with the feedback needed for us to be better! Since the game is missing from the itch.io browse pages, it is now getting about 1/3 of it's usual daily numbers, I have no idea when the itch io team will put the game back into the browses, if it is a bug, if it will ever go back, if it has been flagged... reported, idk. I can just hope, that if it will take a long time to reappaer, that we won't fall down to the bottoms, just because something unexpected has hit our game. That'd suck :/. I want to say that I don't blame the itch.io team. I believe that the biggest possibility is that the game has been reported for something and it is being investigated and quarantined for a the time being. I didn't recieve any notification though, the game was just... gone. You can of course still access THIS page through links.
Sorry about this, I have no control over it and it may result in the game's massive downfall of popularity :(
Still, you have been amazing and it is certainly not the end. Just a minor setback that will hopefully be resolved soon.
Cya!

I was so scared that I couldn't finish the game LOL! Despite my fear of the dolls, I loved the fact that each doll had a story behind it! The subtle hints along with the potential of having a doll that's haunted made this game so much fun! (and scary) I plan on going back and doing a full playthrough....with the lights on....during the day! (This was the first game I played in my video)
Heya!! Thank you so much for playing! I've actually seen your video before your post! Thank you for it and for your positive review! And if you do get back to it, I wish you the best of luck! You have completed about 9% of the game so far :P
My heart beated so hard. This was really scarry!
I'm at Mr Bunbun 16th doll. Really good work. Well done!
I wasn't expecting such quality.
Thank you for your nice words! I hope it wasn't TOO scary xP and I hope that you're having lot's of fun!
Thank you for the video / for playing, always appreciated! <3
Thank you so much for your positive review!!!
I checked out your other reviews on other wonderful titles, they are really constructive and full of helpful notes for the devs and I am honored that you rated our game this high, it means so much to me, so thank you again <3
I love your videos, they are EXTREMLY unique! I only really see gameplays of the game as first impressions, which I love of course, but your format was super interesting, too! Regarding the cult stuff that was metioned at the end of the game, which you have stated was one of the few things you found bizzare or down right not good, I have something to say that I have not yet mentioned.
Play Things was actually not suppoused to be released BEFORE a certain project, that is going to be out after the Endless Mode update. This project, now almost completly finished in development, has been worked on for pretty much 3 years and it is MUCH larger than Play Things.
I am not really trying to hide the fact that our media (that of Burning Eye) is all part of the same universe. What I am trying to hide is what, why, where and how, and It's really fun to see people try to discover it. What does that have to do with the cult? Well, let me say this: Burning Eye as a whole is currently at a timeframe, where there are two important factors going on in the background of each game / series we make. One of which, is the Mekoro cult.
This game has not really shown anything of what the cult is, as that is explained in MUCH greater detail in this other project. The reason Play Things did end up releasing before "The Project", is because it is a much simpler game, and I wanted to have something out after Dawn At Laywood. (Which is also part of the universe, of course)
I really hope that we can expand on this, as the whole lore of this has been worked on for several years, and it is now going to be displayed through media, mostly video games, such as Play Things. This is only the beggining of what we want to make, and I am so glad that we have had such a positive start, with people like you, giving us the support we need to have a reason to continue.
Your channel and your reviews give developers and overal creators like me so much happiness, it is indescribable. I get a strong hit of happiness from every positive comment we get. I hope you know just how much good you are spreading, when showing these positive messages to aspiring creators on this platform, I can't of course speak for everyone, but your constructive criticism, is pretty much a core pillar of why our future looks bright. Thank you for this, and I hope that you have a wonderful life and a I wish your youtube channel a lot of deserved growth! <3
Well, I would like constructive criticism to be treated as criticism, not as an attempt to humiliate the project or the author. Because I have seen people who are truly offended when I find bugs in their games, although I just wanted to help fix them, oh well.
And about the large-scale story - even this one was quite a long one for me to work on (mostly because I described the experiment with each doll in detail, but even so it has a good length, I played it for more than 4 hours), and if there is an EVEN longer project, then I will definitely be interested. Of course, then I will have to try hard with the review, but considering the impressions I got from this game, it will definitely be interesting. I will also watch Dawn at Laywood, this project passed me by earlier, but now there is a chance to see it. So I will do a review on it, perhaps. And when you finally release "PROJECT", then on him too. After all, well-thought-out plots are hard to find now, you need to appreciate this opportunity
I can say with certainty, that you will not like Dawn at Laywood. I should probably remake that game. It is full of bugs and it is not as polished or fun as our new projects.
"PROJECT" is also much more stereotypical horror game in terms of gameplay, or at least ½ of it is... must be confusing now, but I don't want to say anything about this project, yet.
Thank you for your thoughtful replies / comments by the way, always interesting to see what people have to say about the projects and the state of indie games.
People do get offended when you find bugs, but I'd say that it's mostly frustration, at least for the couple of hours. Especially if the bug is a major concern, but your reviews are very much on the positive sides. You can state the good even in the "bad", which is nice. As it is pretty easy to talk trash about games you simply find unflattering :P
Well, about Dawn at Laywood. Even if I don't like it, I'll at least point out what exactly I didn't like and find bugs, if there are any. And I won't say anything about the future project, maybe I'll like it, after all, I've seen more than one hundred horrors in my career. And criticism - some people are offended not for a short time, but for a long time. I won't point a finger, but it's a rather strange reaction, considering that I simply pointed out the bugs without any insults to the game. Let's say this, I won't even review games that I really didn't like - it's enough for me to rate them on my streams
umm, I'm trying to play the game but it's really dark, I can't see almost anything and I tried changing the lighting and shadows settings but nothing changed, help please
Lighting settings to High or Very High should enable light bouncing. It's weird if it ain't working for you, maybe you only raised it to normal. Pretty much everything else you can set to the lowest. Light bouncing makes the room pretty much 2x brighter. Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope this helps!
Alternatively, use the flashlight as a spot light by dropping it to a commonly visiting direction, like the testing room.
im making another comment bcs me and my friends finished the game earlier today, we only got ending 2/4, but i justwanted to say thw game is so peak, and we will be playing this again together to try and get the rest of the endings!!!!!! (i still love tina tina is awesome)
It's really sweet to see your dedication to this project, I hope that you will have just as much fun seeing the last two endings! (And yeah, she's a sweetheart)
I had a lot of fun with this game! Literally made this account just to say that I really enjoyed myself here! :D
Aww that is really sweet xP, thank you so much <3
Ayyyyyy thanks for the follow (I made sure to return the favor, you seem like a really cool person)! :D I caught a couple bugs in the game and I thought of a few dolls that would be easy to implement (hopefully XP) and make cool additions to the game! Lmk if you want to hear any of it, I’ll send it over (somehow XD) <3
I'd be happy to hear them! You can go ahead and write them in the reply!
Oh dang I'm so sorry I didn't see this until just now! Anyway, the major bug I've noticed is that Lily will get stuck when she tries to patrol around during Hide and Seek, and this happened 2 out of the 6 times I went through that section. That's the only bug I caught (after looking back the rest were my fault XP) and now for the new doll suggestions!
The item highlight feature would be great if one of the dolls hides your items at some point! I think the doll doing it the second they're dropped in or put in the chair is the best time to pull it off, but the scariest part of this event could be when the scissors go missing a second time, and you see the doll is holding them! Then you gotta actually walk right up to the doll and take them back (or the doll could be hiding the scissors behind them for a different kind of creepy).
My next suggestion is for a doll that when you ring the bell to get the next one, nothing drops down the chute and ringing the bell does nothing. Only when the player turns around do they see a HUMAN SIZED ZOMBIE HALLOWEEN MANNEQUIN with it's arms outstretched like it was trying to lunge forwards (bonus points if you can implement a camera jolt and sound effect to make it seem like the player got smacked)! It's holding it's own description in one of it's outstretched hands.
You really could do so much with full sized mannequins, like cadaver models, anatomy dolls, clothing store mannequins, more halloween props, etc.
This next one might be a bit harder to implement, but what if ringing the bell drops down 5 dolls at once, because it turns out there is one spirit jumping between the dolls and they all have their own little tells for when they're inhabited (like the mouth changing shape, the eyes winking, stuff like that). The main problem with this one is that if ANY of the dolls leave your sight, the spirit might place the doll behind you and it would kill you if you touch it without looking at it (this one's probably a long shot, but it's still a cool idea)!
Side note, it'd be pretty cool if the bunny doll had more to it than just the picture changing, I was constantly looking behind myself worried that another one would show up. Maybe you could have like a giant looming shadow that tries to sneak up behind you after you pick up the doll for the first time, it's completely silent so you just have to keep watch, and you could make it vanish with your flashlight (or you could use that for a completely separate doll, it's your game)!
My final suggestion is for something I call "Containment mode", it'd be a separate mode from the main game and it's where you have to deal with containing the very upset haunted dolls that just failed their inspection while the incinerator warms up (you can even make some of them permanent problems by marking them for further study, so the player can't burn them and just has to keep them from trying to kill them). If you feel like it, you could have alternate methods of destroying the dolls because the other ways don't work (stupid fire-proof, crush-proof, blender-proof fabric), but that's if you want the extra cool points.
That's everything I cooked up for you, let me know if you like any of it!
Regarding Lily, she tends to wander off when searching for people. Her pathfinding shows her accessible areas, which pretty much includes your whole workplace. If she got stuck, it's possible that a door was closed / opened in her path, and even though she is able to open doors, sometimes it gets messed up. I will certainly check this out!
I was actually just working on a new highlight item system just yesterday, as the endless mode will have more items o work with. Regarding your idea, it was actually sorta already thought of on our end, with the scissor theft, but the highlight feature was not considered. A lot of people forget about it, for example, when Andy hides, you can find him by highlight, because it will also highlight the doll. However, hiding the items is something we did not think of, so that is certainly going in the event pile! And of course, expect being credited in game (unless you specifically don't want to be)
The zombie / cadaver Halloween thing is very bizzare, but pretty much anything goes. I really like the idea of the doll not dropping and a humanoid spawning instead, but I'd probably change this a bit. It holding the testing sheet is a very interesting and unique idea! I'd love to do this one, including the bonus points :P
I really like this one! Once again it's very unique and pretty creepy! I'd probably do some changes, to implement the gameplay features into the event a bit more (since again, a lot is changed in the endless mode)but this one is certainly getting in!
Regarding Mr. Bunbun, I like the paranoia feel that the players get in the game. A lot of the times there is nothing dangerous happening, but you believe there is, your brain starts making scenarios, that vary a lot if you played lot's of indie horror games that have jumpscares around every corner. There are some changes going to the Normal mode dolls, but I like the way Mr. Bunbun works. He is sort of a "calm before the storm" pushing, that worked well in the playthroughs I saw. Now of course, instead, this idea could be implemented in a endless mode event!
Very interesting and cool idea, but it's certainly something that we had no plan of doing and it's a big change (or more so an addon). I like the idea, don't get me wrong, as the dolls truly don't immediately get destroyed or "sent to hell" as many people like to say :D, it would be interesting to get back to these dolls. But give the story of the game, that would not make sense. The endless mode once again could have a FEATURE from this idea, but a whole another game mode is too much. Still, parts of this could definetly be used!
Thank you for your time and for your wonderful suggestions!! As mentioned, the parts that will end up in game, you'll be credited for, unless you say otherwise. I'd also like to thank you for the bug report and for showing interest in our game, it means a ton to me! Have a great day!
Thank you very much for this game! I played with my friend and it really scared us. Our doll phobia kicked in really badly, but this was even better! The screamers were really good, better than all the ones I've seen. I would like to see more games like this from you!
Thank YOU very much!! I am really glad that you found the experience to be scary and fun :P.
More games are certainly coming, but when it comes to the format, we won't necessarily be making the same concept. Now that does not mean that Play Things itself is finished of course, the endless update is not a myth and it is going to add new stuff outside of the endless dolls. So yeah, you will see more from us like this, but our upcoming new titles are pretty different in their gameplay loop!
Thank you again for your lovely words <3
This has to be one of the best itchio horror games related to dolls, so much creepy stories it contains and the main story is really good:
Thank you so much for your lovely words <3 Every video, download, play, comment, etc. is appreciated! You've got yourself a like and a new sub ^˘^
Thank you! I love such creepy games, you must a very talented story writer and game developer to make such a game! Hope to see more of you in the future xD
I LOVE THIS GAME SM ITS SO GOOD OMG I QUESTION HOW PEOPLE CAN MAKE SUCH GREAT GAMES LIKE THIS AND ALSO TINA.. TINA MY GOAT.. I WILL BE DRAWING TINA FANART. AND ALSOOO MAKING A TINA FAN CLUB TRUST.
you started the fanclub with me!!!!!!
Bruh I'm in
good game good shit many yes
Thank you, good sir, many thanks
i love tina... shes my goat shes awesome i love her (me and my friends are starting an official tina fanclub)
Haha! Tina would be very happy to hear that ^˘^
I love this game
Thank you, your positive messages give me tons of inspiration. <3 I hope that you will also enjoy the upcoming update and our upcoming new titles, once they are ready to face you amazing people ^˘^
Is there a way to put the game in windowed mode? I stream with a single monitor and it's tough lol
Yup! the F11 should toggle windowed / fullscreen. You can also resize the window freely
When is the endless mode coming!!
Heya! A lot of people are excited for the endless mode, including the Burning Eye team, however, I do not have a specific time of release. I can say that we are indeed working on it, but I don't want to reveal what we have made / are planning / are doing until the time is right.
I can definetly say that it will take a lot of time, unless we decide to release an early access version.
Given that the game has recieved extremly positive reviews and constructive criticism from wonderful people, I really do not want to dissapoint. So the team and I will take our time to polish everything as much as we can to bring you the best experience.
But some good news, after the update, we are extremly close with the release of a completely new title! One that is much longer than Play Things and it has been in development since 2022!
Until the release, I'll always be happy to interact with the little community that we have built and I will answer every question that I possibly can.
There is a specific place to hide in another room, under the table! Lily may have said that she will not peak, but she is quite a liar. She will always go to your location, but when you hide under the table, you can block the enterence, being completly invisible to her.
After she gives up searching for you in your vicinity, she will search around randomly. Listen to her singing, and when you feel like it is safe to move, run like the wind to the chair! You got this mate, good luck! ^˘^
I'm used to horror games. So I foolishly went into this thinking I'd be fine. I was not fine. Genuinely one of the highest quality and most terrifying horror games I've ever played in my life. I had a friend co-commentating with me and I kept getting taken off-guard time and time again. A video of our playtime is going live this week! Look forward to it. And thank you for all your hard word on the game!
Wow, thank you so so much!! I am absolutely looking forward to the stream! Words like yours mean so much more to me than I can describe in words. It keeps me going on this journey that is just at it's start and I profoundly hope, that you guys will continue to enjoy our upcoming titles and updates. Thank you again for your encouraging words, I wish you an amazing life <3
As promised!
one of the best horror games i have ever played in my whole life
Wow, thank you! Considering how many wonderful horror titles there are, that is quite an accomplishment! Thank you so much <3
amazing game and the stories are so intriguing! it is clear to see how much love went into making this game :) unfortunately every time I try to play abby's story she vanishes after the discomfort test and I am unable to progress :( does anyone have any advice for fixing this glitch (I watched a couple of playthroughs and it looks like in everyone else's game she just drops from the chair)?
Thank you so much for your lovely words!!
Ah, I am sorry about that. Here are some ways, that might help:
I hope this helps, again, sorry for the worsened experience, but thank you again for your positive outlook regardless <3
This game was wonderful, really interesting and I loved that there was 4 endings, I might revisit this game in the future to try and get the other endings.
Thank you so much for playing and for your positive review! <3 Imma check the vid out to the end, but thank you again for making it.
Note: Mariah Carey was busy singing some christmas song at the day of recording
I've been a huge fan of this game since version 1.2.1. I had seen that Neco the Sergal had played it and so I bought a copy of the game 138 days ago. I'll eventually play it on my YouTube channel. I just Downloaded the latest version. I'm thrilled to see the game continue to grow and evolve as time goes by! It shows tremendous dedication. Keep up the amazing work and have a great day!!!
That is quite a dedication! Thank you so much for sticking by for such a long time, and I hope that you'll be pleased with the upcoming update! Thank you so much for the positive message <3, I say it all the time, and likely will continue to do so, but it helps a ton with my motivation. So thank you <3
This game was an absolute blast to play! I loved all the different interactions with the dolls, there was a wide variety with how they looked and behaved. I found myself excited to read all of their stories and find out the mysteries surrounding them. There were some dolls that I wasn't sure whether they would be safe or not- it was fun to gather the clues to find out. It was so addicting that I went through 17 dolls on my first play. So happy I tried it out, for a demo this was amazing so far! Can't wait to see what else it has in store :)
Wow! Thank you for such lovely words! I am really glad that you enjoyed the testing aspect of the game! <3
Even though this is not really a demo (more so an early acess), there are indeed a lot of other media to come, including a massive content update for this game!
Thank you again, every positive message and constructive criticism GREATLY helps with the motivation <3
Howdy there! I love the game and the concept, but had to keep restarting because of one bug: When I pick up multiple items, I can't drop or use them ever again. Resetting the items from the computer will get them out of my hands, but then they just don't exist anywhere. Several times, I forgot to drop scissors before picking up the checklist. That meant I couldn't complete that doll since now I couldn't complete the checklist.
Great game overall, though!
Thank you so much!
Oh, now that sounds like the pre-fix bug. All you meed to do is download the 1.2.7.1 (fixed) file (the only file currently available), the bug is fixed there!
Thank you again for a positive review <3
Hİ i couldnt play the game it was super slow and pixelated nothing opened do yall have any suggestions? it was fixed version
Hello! Sorry to hear about your experience, by nothing opened, do you mean after you started a new game?
The game has a low poly style with a pixelated shader, it is suppoused to be pixalated, if it is slow, please try to adjust your settings. Go to settings > Graphics > and put everything to low.
I saw your vid already, and commented on it, to answer, I never blame anybody's specs. There ARE limits, but I should really just optimise more, if possible.
But regarding this, to repeat what I wrote under the video in the comments, I think the game just overloaded, you do have high quality settings, at least in the lighting quality. Try to lower that in the game's settings, before starting. The error message that pops up is unreadable, but I assume it's just overloaded. If possible, please send me the error message, that pops up before the game screen freezes, so I can try and determine the problem more cleary, and, if possible, help you resolve it.
Again, sorry for the trouble
Thanks for your efforts! i really enjoyed watching gameplays. i think problem is my pc because same issue on another same kind game.
No problem! Ok "Fatal error" does not say much :P, but, from what I gathered, it may be outdated graphics drivers. You can go to your windows settings and to your hardware, in there, you should see your GPU (and it's driver). You can try to update it there, if it is not up to date.
This is not just for the game btw, it's good to have your drivers up to date, as you'll have all the new patches and newer games (or engines, that games are made in) rely on PC's to have updateded drivers.
Of course, it is not required. If the issue happened on another game, then I would recommend trying to update the drivers. If it shows to be too complicated, let me know, I'll do my best to give you clear instructions on how to do it, on your windows 11 PC.
This is a GREAT game and a great idea. Enjoyed playing this!
Thank you so much!! <3
I love the game! Great atmosphere and the dolls are so cute!! Although I'm not sure if there's something I'm doing wrong or what, but the game is super dark for me? Like I can't see the chair for the photograph part or the boxes to put the dolls in without the flashlight
Thank you so much! <3
Ah, I see, you are not doing anything wrong, it's just really likely that the light bouncing is disabled on the low and medium lighting quality
Go to the settings > Graphics > Lighting Quality and set it to High (or Very High). This should enable Lumen (light bouncing) and it will light up the game greatly, without tanking too much performence!
This has already been looked at, and it will be investigated and fixed in the upcoming update.
Thank you for the notification (and positive review) and I hope this helped you with your problem! ^˘^
Thank you! Setting it to very high (and shadows to low) helped a bit! The photo chair is still a bit hard to see, but that can be fixed by just setting my flashlight to where it lights it up
Yeah, an extra light is added in the new version, although I kinda like the darkness of the photo chair, as only the flash lights up the doll's face, I find that ominous, but I understand that it can be hard to place the doll on the chair, when it is pitch black.
Thank you again for your report!
Oh, I also encountered a glitch/bug? When I called Clawdia's name the first time, she did what she was supposed to, but somehow went through the glass and ended up behind me. I don't know if this is important to you or not, but i figured you should know about it!
Oh yeah, that happens usually if your frame rate is locked at 30, as the collisions are "faster" then the in-game time. This has been fixed, now it's just part of the huge update that is incoming soon.
I plan on not releasing any patches, unless it is needed.
Thank you for the report though, every bit helps!
I loved this game a lot thank you for making it! I might do a part two and see how much further i get :) here is my video on it.
Thank YOU for playing / recording your playthrough! I'll check it out <3
