A brand-new horror game coming to Steam lets players watch classic horror movies, amidst its creepy paranormal investigation premise.
A brand-new indie horror game coming to Steam will allow players to watch full-length movies in the game, alongside its mystery-tinged psychological horror gameplay. Where Dolls Hang looks to combine elements of games like Resident Evil, The Forest, and much more with its Steam release.
Horror has been a popular genre for many indie developers looking for their big break, with a wide variety of different subgenres. Games like Outlast and Lethal Company have become some of the most popular games to come from the indie scene, with others like Doki Doki Literature Club pushing the boundaries of horror. Kinetic Games’ Phasmophobia was a similarly successful co-op horror game at launch, taking inspiration from real-world paranormal investigators with players able to team up with friends to investigate haunted locations. Now, a brand-new indie horror game features the unique inclusion of some popular films in-game.
Where Dolls Hang Is a Spooky Horror Game With Real Movies Included
Indie developer Steelkrill Studio’s newest game, Where Dolls Hang, whisks players into an unsettling island setting with plenty to discover. The game centers on a paranormal investigator who visits an island with creepy dolls hanging in its forests, drawn by mysterious bodies washing ashore. The game tasks players with finding clues throughout the island and traversing the dense forests and swamps with a grid-based inventory system, crafting, and more. Players can also find VHS tapes scattered across the game containing real-world horror movies, allowing fans to watch films such as Night of the Living Dead inside the game. Where Dolls Hang is slated to release at an unconfirmed date in 2026.
Where Dolls Hang looks to include plenty of elements from some of gaming’s most popular horror franchises. The inventory management system is likely inspired by the Resident Evil franchise, which similarly limits the items players can carry with them. Players are tasked with crafting their own items and tools to progress in Where Dolls Hang, with recipes found throughout the island giving access to improved weapons and resources. The game’s Steam page also touts features like a day-and-night cycle and weather, both affecting visibility and the aggressiveness of Where Dolls Hang‘s enemies.
