Almost an entire year after the original announcement of Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror, publisher SOEDESCO and developer Creazn Studio released a new video. The first in a new series, Sessions, provides a deeper look at Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror. Check it out below.
The Sessions series has been made to give players more details about the first-person horror title, including information on some of its characters and how gameplay will work.
Dollhouse: The Broken Mirror’s story will revolve around Eliza de Moor. Once a celebrated singer, her life was changed when she fell unconscious in the middle of a stage performance. Years later, Eliza wakes up disoriented and with no memory of how she ended up in a sanatorium.
Doctor Stern seemingly has a solution – an experimental treatment that might help Eliza regain her memories and maybe even allow her to leave. As part of this treatment, Eliza has to visit Ravenhill Village, once known for manufacturing dolls but long left abandoned.
The village is also home to the de Moor family mansion, known colloquially as the Dollhouse mansion. Eliza must explore its depths and the surrounding village to discern what happened to her. Throughout her time, Eliza will discover the fate of her various family members. The video describes their stories as being “as tragic as it is mysterious”.
Incidentally, Doctor Stern and his father have ties to the de Moor family. Both are esteemed psychiatrists running the Stern Sanatorium, and their ties to the de Moor family go back generations.
While exploring the de Moor mansion, Eliza will travel through two distinct realities. One will be in the conscious world, where Doctor Stern acts as her guide, and the other will be in the subconscious world, where she will experience the world from the eyes of her younger self. The dolls all over the place have also seemingly taken on lives of their own.
Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror is being developed for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and is slated for a March 28 release.
