you wil not be disapointed
What a fun game. You feel sorry for the victim an want to complete the game to help him. Good HO and keep you going finding clues to solve areas. If you get stuck the hints are good.

Nice storyline
I like the storyline and theres a good balance between HO scenes and puzzles. The difficulty level of the puzzles is not too hard, I like them a little bit more challenging.
The morping object are a nice extra.

Not a top game but worth a play.
This game has one of the most bizarre storylines I have ever seen with a somewhat sinister looking doll and a dangerous clown who could certainly give small children nightmares. The puzzles are not particularly taxing and many of them could not really claim to be puzzles at all. However, it's still a decent game to play and the hidden object scenes were some of the better ones I've seen with some cleverly hidden items. I doubt anyone would come away thinking that this was the best game they ever played but I don't think anyone would find their money wasted.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES EVER!!
Delightfully and unexpectedly scary and spooky and when you add witches and demented clowns to the equation it couldn't be more perfect.
The graphics were spectacular, the music compliments the driving storyline and the special effects were amazing.
Genius gaming... Highly recommend!!!

Creepy!
I loved this game-it was creepy and made me jump a couple of times.
Fun Factor: awesome
Visual/sound quality-excellent and so creepy at times.
Level of challenge-so-so. I didn't need the skip button at all. Which is a good thing I think.
Storyline- Was ok. The little clown friend was cute.

My inner good and goth girls both squeeed with joy!
This unexpectedly delightful mix of sci-fi and fantasy is just what I needed. By turns sour and sweet, cute and macabre (in a good way, of course), Stray Souls: Dollhouse Story hits all the right buttons.
Sound -- The music is on a relatively short loop with only a few different tracks, hence only a 4 in that area, but I Love the few bars of theremin. Minimal voiceover work, though well-done.
Nuts & Bolts -- The choice of casual or hard mode shows up after the first chapter. The major differences seem to be whether you get small glints to let you know something can be done in an area and the hint recharge rate - 2 minutes on hard vs 60 seconds on casual. HOGs sparkle regardless. The Hint animation is adorable. Only one hint available at a time, but when you finish a puzzle or HOG, the little guy rejoins you. The dollhouse is an awesome extra story mechanic. The journal is more for reminders and summaries of what you have already seen, but still comes in handy several times. The map is helpful, but not interactive, showing your location and when something can still be done in an area right now, or if the area is to be revisited later. Late in the game, the "something can be done now" areas stopped showing in my play-through - not sure if this is a glitch, or simply a way to increase the difficulty at this particular stage.
Gameplay -- The minigames have a few new wrinkles #for me, anyway# - always nice. The HOGs are easy and not interactive, but so visually rich and in-keeping with the story that I enjoyed them anyway. Morphing objects #36 total# are always a plus. Note: there are a few "can't go back, only forward" points in the game, so if you really want to make sure you grab all the MOs, you'll want to check a walkthrough. The story was not intrusive and has a few twists - a nice balance of surprises and the expected.
Overall, a unique approach to some common tropes. PG-13 in terms of scariness - though if you have a phobia of clowns or slightly creepy dolls, you'd best look elsewhere. SE is rather brief #2-3 hours, depending on your level of experience#, but after the first 10 minutes or so, absolutely enthralling.

Stray Souls: Dollhouse Story!
Stray Souls: Dollhouse Story is a hidden object were a knock at the door starts the mystery. Your husband- Sam goes missing and in his place is a box with a intresting creature inside that will help you along your journey to find Sam. You meet lots of intresting people, go through moving moments and have times were all you have to do is find certain items. As you unravel the mystery of your husbands childhood and the many secrets he has hid from you, you will find figures that will go into your dollhouse to help you understand Sam's past. The graphics are excellent, the music helps bring the tense to life, whilst the story at the start fits in perfectly with the game. This game is quite hard but luckily you have hints at the bottom, you will find long- lost family, which will end in a truely moving and upsetting ending for your freind that has helped you across your quest. In my opoin this is the best game EVER! Defintely a must try game!

What can I say
Loved it. For personal reason, the main kid character looks like and reminds me of my lost friend I was close with. - Anyways, the storyline, excellent. Never played a game where is one single doll being a good one, and against others. Also, I liked how those few houses front doors were "locked" by two dolls with a saw. Loved the bad clown. It's like, shows how innocent bad people can pretend to be. Sounds were a m a z i n g . Totally got me shivering when there was some action on the screen and volume on top. But it just made me get more interested in the game. There was no big challenge on that game, but few times had to use the hint button to find few things. The doll's arm chained on the tree, never really find it myself, but after 4 minutes, YES FOUND IT. This game is my favorite for long, I bet there will not be any game pass this. In my case, of course. Amazing job drawing the facial expressions. Especially the kid's and clown's.

Grab this daily deal today!
I bought and played this game a while back and enjoyed it immensely! After reading the reviews I think I'll go back and play it again because I had forgotten how much fun it was for me. You can read the other reviews for more information but if you don't get this game as a daily deal I can assure you it's worth the full price, too. If they came out with another dollhouse I would snatch it up in a minute.
