Survival horror films from the era of the first PlayStation even decades after their heyday had their fans and imitators. Among the productions referring to these works, and especially to the cult Silent Hill, one can find Welcome to Doll Town. Behind the project is independent studio Bad Wish Games, founded in 2017 and with a portfolio of genre-related Neuromir: First Death.
In Welcome to Doll Town, we view events from a variety of angles, as in classic positions of this type. Exploring the title doll town, we move through its gloomy streets and abandoned buildings, solving puzzles based on interactions with the environment, fighting possessed dolls, and gradually learning more and more about the history of the place. We learn about the latter both through environmental narration and through flashbacks.
Welcome to Doll Town takes us to a Japanese town that was once known for its unique, handmade dolls. With time, the town lost its former splendor and began to decline, with many residents moving away, leaving behind abandoned houses, schools and factories.
The game's protagonist is Yumi, who is employed here at the only grocery store. What the protagonist doesn't know is that this is how her nightmare begins, and in order to escape it, she will have to discover the truth behind the cursed dolls and the tragic love story that brought destruction to the town.
The graphic design of Welcome to Doll Town is maintained in the aesthetics of the first PlayStation. Due to the fog shrouding the streets and buildings, visibility is limited to just a few meters. The color scheme is dominated by shades of gray.
