About this game
Violet’s marriage is falling apart. One night, in a desperate attempt to make things right, she ventures into a mysterious forest, determined to gather the cherished belongings that once brought joy to her husband. But the woods are filled with secrets: a strange will-o’-the-wisp appears again and again, its intent unclear - friend or foe? As Nordic folklore comes to life around her, the line between reality and memory begins to blur.
A Journey into Darkness
On her search for the lost fragments of her relationship, Violet encounters strange objects and enigmatic creatures. Some seem familiar, others frighten with their strangeness. As she ventures deeper into this surreal forest, the line between reality and delusion begins to blur. Things appear that shouldn’t exist, memories twist, and every decision can lead her fate further into an unexpected direction.
Explore. Uncover. Remember.
Wander through the eerie woods and uncover their hidden secrets. Collect scattered clues like fragments of Violet’s past and interact with mysterious objects that sometimes promise answers… and sometimes only raise new questions.
Listen to Violet’s voice as her thoughts, doubts, and longings come to life. Every step and every spoken word brings you closer to the truth… or drives you further into madness.
Everything Changes
What once felt familiar may vanish in the blink of an eye. New paths open, and known places shift their appearance. The forest lives and transforms with every step you take. Nothing remains the same, and each discovery pulls you further into a labyrinth of secrets that will never let you go.
Choices That Matter
Your choices shape not only her path, but also the reality around her. Are you ready to lose yourself and uncover every hidden truth?

A little look behind the scenes at the map artwork:It’s been a lot of sketching, scrapping, reworking and questioning my life choices, but I’m really happy with where it ended up.

The Doll Museum Update!
The Doll Museum - everything is turning out smoothly!Even though I recently experienced a lot of ups and downs, I reached a point where I feel more at ease now. I just started the very first playtesting phase with a handful of people and the feedback turned out to be pretty good, which I am very thankful for. I also fixed the bugs people reported to me.I think the longer I work on the game, the more confident I become about both myself and the idea behind it. I struggled a lot in the past, but now I finally feel like I found my groove.My next steps are to open a separate demo page with a launch date. I am aiming for August. Fingers crossed I can make it in time! I have a clear vision of how the rest of the project will turn out.Your mission: Wishlist 'The Doll Museum'!Your Delulu GirlRead full article on Community Announcements (delulu girl)AnnouncementsOfficial
The Doll Museum DevVlog
✨Some personal Spark✨As a webcomic artist first and foremost✨, I decided to add comic panels to strengthen the overall atmosphere of the game. I think it gives the experience a more personal touch as well!I struggled quite a bit with the doll puzzle...... but I finally completed it and can now move on with the rest. I can say Half of the demo is finished. I originally wanted to release the demo in July... which might sound optimistic, but it seems almost impossible. What I really need now is a good and realistic schedule, but I have issues with the 'being realistic' - Part.The Choices in the Game are what I enjoy the most, since I think they can be pretty unique and entertaining.I also lost a few days working on dialogue sprites, but that is simply part of the process. It is what it is...Wishlist the new Game here!On a more exciting note, Lost in the Woods will be featured in two festivals, one in July and another in December!Stay tuned !Delulu GirlRead full article on Community Announcements (delulu girl)Patch NotesOfficial
