Adding Doll Blink Animation We wanted to end the level with something small but creepy that will hopefully surprise our players.

The game is set inside a Doll Hospital in Victorian London, which the player is allowed to (with restriction) move through. We knew that there should be some window to view the outside world and hint at the state of the world as story-wise London has been filled with these organic parasites that grow inside
Cleaning the Face For this part, we want the player to first use the cloth to wipe the doll’s face clean, and then, much like with the eye glue task, they will need to go to the cabinet to collect the paint and return to the doll to apply it. For cleaning the face, we

In level 1, the player is introduced to their first patient and is asked to remove the doll’s eyes, replace them with new ones, and repaint the damaged makeup. The dolls were going to be a major part of the game so I spent the first few weeks working on how I was going to
