A new nightmare is about to unfold for horror enthusiasts. Dollhouse: Behind The Broken Mirror, the second installment in the Dollhouse saga, is officially set to release on March 28, 2025, bringing its eerie mix of vintage noir atmosphere and psychological terror to PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. This stand-alone sequel follows in the footsteps of the original 2019 title, yet offers a fresh narrative that welcomes newcomers and returning fans alike. Through cinematic storytelling, mind-bending puzzles, and a deeply unsettling world, the game aims to deliver a heart-pounding experience like no other.
A Glimpse into Eliza de Moor’s Broken Reality
Players step into the role of Eliza de Moor, a former singing sensation who lost her memory after collapsing on stage during a fateful performance. With the guidance of the mysterious Doctor Stern and his experimental medication, Eliza must navigate two warped realities: one that resembles her fading sense of normal life, and another reflected in a haunting “broken mirror” realm filled with grotesque illusions. As she traverses these parallel worlds, she revisits Ravenhill—her childhood home—and the foreboding Dollhouse Mansion, where ominous secrets whisper through the decrepit halls.
The game’s vintage noir aesthetic casts shadowy silhouettes, art deco designs, and foreboding corridors that capture the essence of 1940s suspense. It is a world where every flicker of a streetlamp or half-seen shape in a mirror can hint at a memory best left buried. From the lonely hush of abandoned ballrooms to the hushed tension of corridor after corridor brimming with unknown horrors, Dollhouse: Behind The Broken Mirror pursues a relentless atmosphere of dread.
Confront Horrific Dolls and Unravel a Forgotten Past
At the heart of Dollhouse: Behind The Broken Mirror lies a central threat: hordes of malicious dolls, each representing a forgotten fragment of Eliza’s psyche. These sinister mannequins patrol the labyrinthine environment, peering from dark corners, poised to spring if Eliza steps too close or lingers too long. Whether you choose to combat them using found weapons or slip by unnoticed through stealthy maneuvers, every encounter poses a question: How far are you willing to go to recover a memory? And once recovered, is it truly something you want to see?
These frightening sentinels become both puzzle pieces and obstacles, guarding the path to vital fragments of Eliza’s lost life. The developer’s commitment to “combat or stealth” ensures that each playthrough can unfold differently, reflecting a player’s risk tolerance and willingness to confront the darkness head-on. Those who prefer a more cerebral approach can try sneaking past the porcelain nightmares to preserve precious resources, while the bravest souls may dare to fight, firing off each bullet as if it’s their last hope of keeping the terror at bay.
Puzzles, Choice, and Multiple Endings
Amid the shifting walls and unsettling illusions, puzzles form the backbone of Dollhouse: Behind The Broken Mirror’s challenge, breaking up moments of intense dread with sequences that rely on intellect. Solving these puzzles serves as the key to unlocking the story’s core mysteries, revealing glimpses of Eliza’s life before her collapse and the cataclysmic events that shattered her mind. Each clue gathered not only brings Eliza closer to her fractured truth, but also peels back the layers of the Dollhouse Mansion’s own ghastly past.
Beyond puzzles, player choices impact the trajectory of Eliza’s journey. The game offers multiple endings, entwining moral dilemmas and gameplay style into the ultimate conclusion. Will you risk everything in a desperate bid for answers, or skirt the edges of the unknown, hoping to remain unscathed? The fate of Eliza’s sanity—and perhaps her very soul—hinges on those decisions.
Prepare for the Dollhouse’s Unsettling Refrain
From the immersive visual design to the creepily orchestrated music, Dollhouse: Behind The Broken Mirror pledges a deeply cinematic horror experience. Its dual reality setup, compelling protagonist, and noir-styled ambience evoke classic psychological thrillers, reimagined with modern gameplay twists. As Eliza teeters between hope for redemption and the inevitable pull of her own dark memories, players will become intimately familiar with the fine line that separates nightmares from truth.
Mark your calendars for March 28, 2025, when Dollhouse: Behind The Broken Mirror opens its doors across PC (Steam), PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S. Whether you’re returning to the saga or diving into the Dollhouse world for the first time, prepare to lose yourself in a realm where every reflection might be a window into your fears—and every step could reveal a horror that lurks just behind the mirror.
