In this GamingBolt video, we delve into the spine-chilling world of horror games, where themes like guilt and family take center stage. Silent Hill 2 delves deep into the concept of guilt, while even the Resident Evil series manages to weave in themes of family dynamics. Enter Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror, where the main theme revolves around the haunting consequences of ancestral sins. You step into the shoes of Eliza Deore, a singer on a quest to uncover her past after a mysterious memory loss.
As you navigate through the eerie town of Ravenhill, the game's atmosphere thickens with isolation and dread. The narrative unfolds through hallucinations and scattered notes, painting a grim picture of a town haunted by its past. Gameplay mechanics akin to Resident Evil 7 involve exploration, puzzles, and unsettling encounters with deranged dolls. However, the combat system falls short, disrupting the carefully crafted tension and immersion of the narrative.
Dollhouse introduces a unique twist with mirrors that offer glimpses into alternate realities, adding layers of intrigue to the storyline. Despite its compelling ideas, the game falters in the visual department, with lackluster textures and dated character designs. While the game manages to instill fear through clever lighting and eerie doll aesthetics, it struggles to maintain engagement due to clunky combat and sluggish movement. Overall, Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror presents a mix of chilling moments and missed opportunities, leaving players craving a more refined horror experience.
