Paper Dolls

Paper Dolls is a virtual reality adventure about a man searching an eerie ancient Chinese house for his daughter. After a car crash leaves him unconscious, he wakes in the deserted house and follows her voice, investigating whether his surroundings are a dream, an illusion or a space-time anomaly. As he explores, seemingly unrelated mysteries lead to a truth buried for a century. The game lasts approximately 15 hours.

The ancient house

Built near the end of the Qing Dynasty, the house is a dark, gloomy place where you explore alone, accompanied by unsettling music. Its story draws on oriental culture, and a mysterious, evil enemy lies behind the dangers that haunt it.

Explore and survive

You search the house, measure the routes you take, solve puzzles and piece together clues to uncover the truth. You also hide from danger and try to survive; finding your daughter and leaving safely are part of the search. The game uses simulated VR interactions and a movement design intended to let you play for extended periods without feeling giddy.

Sound and atmosphere

Music combines folk music, rock 'n' roll and chanting, alongside realistic sound effects. Sound also provides clues to the story and warnings of hazards. The game focuses on building an eerie atmosphere as you explore and face your fears.
