- About the game -

The Lady Puppet is a short 2D Dark Adventure game with emphasis on atmosphere, exploration, light puzzle solving and stealth. 

The player takes on the role of the innocent Lailah Reah and will have to help her find a way out of Clawhill, a mysterious place that's apparently disconnected from the "outside world" and that's trapping her and all of the other "survivors".

Lailah will be able to walk, run and examine objects and documents scattered all around Clawhill. Certain items will allow Lailah to heal her wounds or progress through the game. Documents will, instead, give insights on the overall plot and backstory of the game. Collecting them will allow the player to uncover the story and to understand what's going on exactly.

When confronted with the enemy, the player will have to be careful not to get spotted by them, or else a chase sequence will begin. Enemies will be able to see and hear Lailah. Their pattern and effectiveness depends on the type of enemy.

There will be another small twist added to the gameplay. I won't spoil it to you, you'll have to play to see! :)

- Plot summary -

September 21, Autumn season. The season of changes.

Lailah Reah wakes up only to find herself trapped in a dark and dangerous place called Clawhill. For reasons she can't explain, she's "strung". Wires are stuck inside her wrists and her ankles, but somehow those don't limit her movements.

Despite being a model student and a nice person, Lailah lacks the courage to face the hardships that await her. But with the help of the Masked Woman maybe she'll be able to find the Spookhouse, the place that connects Clawhill to the "outside world", and escape from that nightmare.

Or maybe she'll perish? Maybe the Masked Woman should not be trusted?

Will a girl like her, always afraid and powerless, be able to survive?

Ótimo jogo mesmo amei, so queria saber o final

I can't launch the game. Neither download actually has a game file.

Hi, Darklord! I think your antivirus is probably putting the game's exe in quarantine, it's probably being looked at as a false positive. My suggestion is to try deactivating the antivirus and re-download the game and also be sure to whitelist either the game's folder or the exe file :)

This was a super fun game that I enjoyed a ton! Looking forward to the full release :)

Wow, that's an amazing speedrun, Eddventure! 15 minutes is quite an impressive feat :) Thank you so much for this, it made my day^^

The game is really interesting and the puppeteer system is really unique. I'd make a quick tutorial on how the doll system works when you pick up a doll. Otherwise great game.

Here's my channel for other games I have played. http://www.youtube.com/c/Levont

Thank you, Levont! * _ * I really liked it, you've been very careful with the enemies and with what needed to be done!

I'll see about implementing a quick tutorial. Fullscreen is actually possible with the ALT+ENTER combination (the resolution is just for the windowed mode), but I'll probably add an option in the Options menu as well.
Thank you again! :)

I do alot of horror and thrillers. It's pretty rare for something to give me the creeps, but this did it. Hope to see more. 

Some of the spaces you can and can't walk are confusing, especially with the dead trees and southern cave walls. Might be an area to look at.

Cheers

Thank you so much, SamuraiJones!
This was my first attempt at making a Horror game. I'm glad to know I nailed it!

I'll fix the issues you have reported to me. Stay in touch for the full release of the game! :)

Thank you again!

I know they say don't judge a book by its cover, but it looks so good, downloading it and I'm probably going to edit this comment after I played it.
