Leaving this review to hopefully help the developer make improvements for the next game. This felt like a mostly incoherent story, like the cart was put before the horse. The game was made before there was a story. It's always better to have a good story to tell then build the game around that. The game is called Martha's Dolls but it didn't really feel like the "doll" aspect was used much. The idea of scary dolls is the fear they are alive and moving, the player should question themselves if they did move or not. Here there is no subtlety, just over the top gore for no reason and some in your face jumpscares which are the least creative kind of jumpscare. What makes a great indie horror game is a good story first, then a tense atmosphere, then creative unpredictable scares. Having fun/creative puzzles helps you stand out beyond that. The puzzles in this game is not what I'd call good, and one of them was a literal recycled bed puzzle from the first Martha's Doll game which comes across as incredibly lazy. You simply must put in more effort if you want your horror game to stand out. If there is more in this series, I suggest dialing back the gore. When there is blood everywhere and bodies all over for no reason it loses all meaning and just becomes noise. A single dead body when you know the context and who it is is far more suspenseful than the 150 nameless dead bodies we come across. There needs to be a coherent story told, and it needs to have a beginning, middle, and end and never end on a "to be continued" note. There was some enjoyment to be had, but I get the impression that there wasn't really any story and instead just a bunch of ideas stitched together. Copious amounts of blood and bodyparts everywhere is a childs idea of what is scary, I think most people are looking for more creepiness and subtlety in a horror story. What you don't see is always the scariest. Teasing something scary, building tension, and only reveal the "monster" in the last half of the story. The story I wanted: We explore the house to document the mystery of the missing woman who used to be a dollmaker. Through the house we hear weird sounds, footsteps, shadows moving, and come across dolls whose position change when we aren't looking. We discover Martha killed her kids due to believing they were not hers but were doppelgängers (give a reason for why the kids are gone), she then created dolls to replace the children that she lost, she went insane thinking the dolls were alive. After many scares, it turns out she was the one moving the dolls throughout the game trying to make the player believe the dolls were possessed just as she did, and we end up escaping before she catches us, solving puzzles involving building a doll that we learn was to be used as our replacement. Then while driving away we see the dolls actually are moving behind Martha as they start to kill her, and as we look in the rearview mirror we realize there is one of the dolls in our backseat. As soon as we turn around to look at the doll the sound of a knife stab is heard and screen goes black, with the last sounds being the breath escaping from the player characters lungs. It turns out Martha was right afterall. So the story is a bait and switch, followed by a twist at the end. The story we got: Martha used the dolls to try to resurrect the souls of her dead kids (we don't know why they died) but the deal with the devil went bad, the dolls became evil and killed her before she could kill them. Then the dolls mess with anyone else who comes to the house and kill them too. That's about it What story would you rather play? Which story sticks with you? Side note: the player character voice acted a single line of dialogue and the rest had no voice acting. Not sure why
