Dollmaker

About

Dollmaker casts you as a rodent scavenger in a first person hybrid of action and strategy. You scuttle through the streets of Willoughby gathering eggs to craft dolls while fending off enemies with a mix of combat and defensive setups. The gameplay shifts between direct shooting and placing doll-based defenses to protect your collection routes. Exploration and resource management factor heavily as you upgrade your creations and tackle increasingly chaotic encounters. The game’s oddball concept pairs surprisingly well with its tense moments of gunplay and tactical planning. Early feedback hints at a niche but dedicated following drawn to its quirky premise and genre mashup. With its focus on asymmetric play and progression, it appeals to players looking for something offbeat in the strategy space. The release date of May 2025 has sparked curiosity among indie circles eager to see how the mechanics balance in practice.
