Initially launching on Steam in October 2024, publisher Feardemic and developer Almost Done Games have released their anomaly- hunting horror game Dollmare for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.

The story for Dollmare is a short but straightfoward one: You were desperate for money to pay the rent, so you’ve accepted a job offer at a doll factory. However, what seemed like a way to make an easy buck, turned out to be something much more sinister. Your job is a simple one: Carefully inspect each doll for strange defects and eerie behaviors, and maintain the equipment. Spot every anomaly, from subtle flaws to unsettling movements, and ensure only the ‘safe’ dolls make it through. At the same time, you’ll need to follow the company’s bizarre protocols.

Touted as being a game made by developers “who are too scared to play other horror games,” Dollmare will not see you being chased by a monster, nor will anything scream or jump at your face. You don’t even have to fight anyone or strive for resources. However, this is not a “chill” game. You will feel scared, unease and oppressive feelings, like you’re being watched or something will happen to you. Something definitely will.

Every playthrough is slightly different. Many events in the game are not scripted, meaning that what you encounter is shaped by the moment. No two players will experience the game the same way, ensuring that your journey is distinctly your own. Explore and uncover the factory’s secrets, where each moment keeps you guessing as to what will happen next.
