TOYCRAFTER is a psychological horror experience set inside the cramped confines of a lone artisan's workshop, where the simple act of building dolls becomes something far less innocent. You play as a toycrafter who has lost passion for small creations and turned instead toward something grander, more unsettling. The work involves cutting doll parts, painting them and attaching them together to assemble sculptures that are deliberately strange and disturbing.
The workshop is your entire world. You interact with the environment by picking up objects, moving things around and using tools to shape your creations. Keeping the space tidy and organized is part of the routine, as is one very specific instruction: lock the door before leaving. The game frames itself as a study of isolation, exploring what happens to an artist so consumed by their craft that reality begins to slip. Anomalies may appear, sounds may reach you that shouldn't be there. The game insists these are just your imagination, that nothing can hurt you, that no abominations are chasing you and no monsters are screaming in your ears. The reassurance itself becomes the unease.
TOYCRAFTER is not yet available to play. For those drawn to the idea of building unsettling sculptures while something you're told doesn't exist presses against a locked door, the workshop is waiting.
