Stray Souls: Dollhouse Story

About

Stray Souls: Dollhouse Story is a point-and-click adventure that drops you into a rural town gripped by eerie occurrences. You play as a woman determined to track down her vanished husband, navigating spooky locales and solving environmental puzzles to piece together what happened. The story unfolds through cryptic dialogue and unsettling visuals, blending folklore with personal drama. Gameplay leans on classic adventure mechanics, inspect scenes, collect items, interact with oddball characters, all while a creepy presence seems to lurk just offscreen. The game’s strength lies in its moody atmosphere and Alawar’s knack for crafting twisty narratives. Though the puzzles occasionally lag in design, the mix of small-town mystery and supernatural tension keeps things engaging. Fans of old-school point-and-clickers with a focus on story over spectacle might find it memorable, especially for its offbeat tone. Released over a decade ago, it still holds a cultish following among fans of the genre’s more niche entries.
