Creepy Anomaly-Spotting Horror Game ‘Dollmare’ Out Now on Consoles [Trailer]
Initially launching on Steam in October 2024, publisher Feardemic and developer Almost Done Games have released their anomaly- hunting horror game Dollmare for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
The story for Dollmare is a short but straightfoward one: You were desperate for money to pay the rent, so you’ve accepted a job offer at a doll factory. However, what seemed like a way to make an easy buck, turned out to be something much more sinister. Your job is a simple one: Carefully inspect each doll for strange defects and eerie behaviors, and maintain the equipment. Spot every anomaly, from subtle flaws to unsettling movements, and ensure only the ‘safe’ dolls make it through. At the same time, you’ll need to follow the company’s bizarre protocols.
Touted as being a game made by developers “who are too scared to play other horror games,” Dollmare will not see you being chased by a monster, nor will anything scream or jump at your face. You don’t even have to fight anyone or strive for resources. However, this is not a “chill” game. You will feel scared, unease and oppressive feelings, like you’re being watched or something will happen to you. Something definitely will.
Every playthrough is slightly different. Many events in the game are not scripted, meaning that what you encounter is shaped by the moment. No two players will experience the game the same way, ensuring that your journey is distinctly your own. Explore and uncover the factory’s secrets, where each moment keeps you guessing as to what will happen next.
Bloober Team appears to have something in the works related to Cronos: The New Dawn. At least, that would appear to be the case, thanks to an accidental reveal ahead of this weekend’s IGN Live event as part of Summer Game Fest.
In the list of title reveals during the event, something referred to as “Cronos: Lazarus” appeared in the list, but was quickly scrubbed. However, not before the internet picked up on it. Adding more fuel to the reveal were two screenshots posted to X by insider Intercelluar, which appear to show the official art. It’s not clear yet, but this is more than likely a new DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn, given that Bloober Team is already busy with multiple other titles, including the Silent Hill remake, and the recently-announced Layers of Fear 3.
If you haven’t checked out Cronos: The New Dawn (and you never read Aaron’s review of the game), the game is set in the haunting ruins of New Dawn, a world inspired by Nowa Huta, a real historical district in Kraków, Poland. Cronos: The New Dawn unfolds across two timelines: a post-apocalyptic future decaying in despair, and the gritty, industrial 1980s reality. This powerful duality blends retro realism, dystopian sci-fi, and a retro-futuristic atmosphere to create a deeply immersive world filled with tension, mystery, and terror.
Players step into the hunting suit of The Traveler — an enigmatic agent of the Collective, sent into zones scarred by the Change, a cataclysmic event that shattered time, memory, and flesh. What remains is a world suspended between past and future — haunted, hostile, and unravelling. Survival is anything but certain.
