【DEMO】 Puppeteer's Lament
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
My father loves me. My mother detests me. My garden blooms for me. My dolls don’t look at me.
Thérèse is a young girl wrapped in warmth, showered with the affection of her father for as long as she can remember. He gave her everything—dolls, toys, pets, and all the attention she could ever crave. He was the perfect father, a man who showed her the world. His most cherished gift to her was a garden of her own.
A place where colors bloom in every shade, a rainbow hue scattered across the foliage; a fantasy come to life, a small paradise she could call her own.
But perhaps it was merely a delusion. Perhaps it was just a fluke. There was no chance that she…
…Would find a dead girl buried beneath her soil.

daaaaamn. Can't wait for more!
In my opinion, the dialogues are the most outstanding part of this demo. Nice work writers.
(The choice to show or not show the gore in the game is a smart idea. GG.)
Really beautiful game... and so.much.art! Also really enjoyed how we start learning that something is really off about this family and place.
i love the art it was so so pretty and i can't wait to learn more about the game, the only ''issue'' would be that the voice of the parents are inconsistent, sometimes they're talking normaly but sometimes the audio gets really low as if they're whispering. idk if it was intentional or if i'm the only one with this problem but i wanted to mention it.
Thank you for the feedback! We noticed that their voices were pretty low too, and unfortunately ran out of time to fix it :( We hope to make it less noticeable in our full game!
ts is so good so far. the art is gorgeous
Thank you for playing our game!
Thérèse... 🥺🥺🥺 ueueue..
I am so proud to work on this game
yay its up!
