Dollhouse is a narrative horror game that pays homage to 1950’s film noir. The game has an intricate Stephen King-like story that utilizes suspense rather than jump scares. The narrative is self-constructing and immerses players in a world that is affected by their choices.

The story of Dollhouse centers inside the mind of Marie, a detective trying to unravel her past. The player can use the help of a big cast of characters to gradually progress further into Marie’s mind. They can create their own experience by choosing which paths they take.

As she crawls deeper and deeper into her mind, she slowly discover that she might not be who she really thinks she is... Dollhouse’s narrative adapts to the player’s decisions based on what memories players kept or deleted to define who they were. All this is happening inside a world that reinvents ways players perceive horror in both singleplayer and online versus multiplayer utilizing suspense over jump scares.

After a very succesful first Open Beta week, SOEDESCO and Creazn Studio have announced that the Open Beta period will be extended. The Beta, that was originally scheduled from April 12-17, is now playable until April 22nd, at 6PM CEST.

Marten Buijsse, Community Manager at SOEDESCO, explains: "We've received tons of feedback over the last week, and we're very grateful for that. The developer has worked hard to address the feedback in a patch focusing on improving the online multiplayer mode. To test this patch and give everyone the chance to try the multiplayer, we've decided to extend the Beta until after the weekend". 

The Beta includes the first two chapters of the Singleplayer story, which adds up to about two hours of gameplay. Additionally, two maps from the Online Multiplayer are playable as well, where 2-8 players can hunt each other down.

To get early access to the Beta, players can claim a code here. Signing up does not guarantee participation, Open Beta participants are selected randomly from the signups and provided with a beta key.
