absolutely cut my strings!! love your prose, love how you structured the narrative, goes without saying i need ms. bellmer in my life, your use of visual and aural elements was deft and sharp, and i am most thankful that you put in the work to so able to incisively articulate ideas that, in my submission to the jam, i feel i could only clumsily gesture toward. this is not to lament inferiority -- i am very proud of my daughter and i love her very much and i wouldn't change a thing about her -- but rather that i hope to one day be able to tailor my expressions with the grace and starkness that you achieved here. and, also, i... needed someone to coherently describe the feelings and needs of someone like Aloysha who i cannot help but see myself in. i think ATTACHMENTDOLL will help me. thank you.

really lovely vn. the alt text doll photos were very well done and my favorite part. i also really loved alyoshka breaking his phone and how it was described, how it felt to him in that moment. you have a wonderful narrative voice that communicated so well the specific cocktail each character is, and how they bounce off each other. fascinating work i'll be thinking about for a while, i almost wish it came with a bibliography. thanks for making + sharing

wow. firstly i had no idea to expect a deaddeaddeath vn to show up in my little homegrown jam, so that was extremely exciting to see pop up in my itch feed! i knew i was in for something truly enthralling. the visuals are stunning. the portraits are incredibly charming, the framing of the jointed hands was great, the effects and the layering had me staring long after a sentence was over. the amount of internal discussion of what makes a doll a doll was fascinating. i really enjoyed how much the concept of dollhood is acknowledged and toyed with, and am definitely reflecting on just how incestuous doll ownership is after all ^_^ exploring these concepts through ms bellmer and alyosha was perfect, too. did i have any idea what i was in for? absolutely not. did i audibly go "OH!" at least three separate times? yes. did i start laughing at the thought of DoA being the true catalyst and origin point of this all? of course wonderful work. i'll be thinking of this for a long time and will absolutely be returning. thank you for participating in the jam and thank you for making something rich, layered, insane, beautiful, and truly heartfelt of dolls <3

absolutely lovely game, i love it so much. the art and visuals are so beautiful. I already want to replay paying full attention to the sprites. They are so cute. The small changes with each expression are so good i got sucked into the text most of the time but i still loved what i saw. aw man the UI in this is so pretty!! i love the colors of everything, the photography is beautiful and i just love the set up of the text. how the text is placed and colored oh my gosh stunning. i really love the sense of the place in this story. The visuals of the city and house combined with the editing and sound design gosh just sucked me into the world completely. played this new years night only the sound of fireworks brought me back to "oh im just reading.". fav visual is the black cut screens i had the tendency to stay on that page a little longer then needed i just loved being in that inbetween, i dont know what exactly that screen is supposed to be but it feels very familiar. i love the story and characters in this so much. been trying to pin point what i connect with here but its really everything. the rambling way the characters speak trying to express as best they can what they mean in words ( i had to look up so many words when reading this but they never felt unneeded they were exactly the words the characters needed to use ). i really love the alt text descriptions of doll photography the last image of the doll holding the owners hand really got me beautiful stuff i was overjoyed when it came back at the end so so so lovely. i adore Alyosha the fantasy of the perfect potential pet, seeing him get trained is ough so perfect i adore his already small sense of self being torn down. from the first day he's trapped you know no one will ever look for him i adore it. i adore cura so so so much as well was incredibly happy when it clicked for me that " oh oh old lady owner!!! " was going to happen. i adore the descriptions of her hands through out first as she repairs dolls and again as she "repairs" aylosha. that combined feeling of thoughtful delicate touch that would fear could break you without. golly its so wonderful. i could say so much more but if i tried id just be describing what i love about every click of this vn. so simple- love this game! amazing work also the cat on your website is cute.

i'm a broken doll
