About Doll Explorer Prologue
Doll Explorer is a turn‑based thinking puzzle game where players issue simple commands such as “move one step forward” or “attack forward” to guide a magical doll through a hazardous dungeon. The core idea is the joy of acting freely within the puzzle constraints.
The free‑to‑play Prologue lets you experience the core mechanics and the story of apprentice witch Tia and her magical doll as they explore a treasure‑laden, gas‑filled dungeon. If the short story is well received, a full version with more challenges is planned.
