We at Creazn Studio want to say thanks to all the feedback and support from the community. Dollhouse would not have improved as much as it did if it weren’t for you guys! We have updated the game weekly, fixing bugs, and adding content for the last 5 months. Like with Marie’s story, it will start to end. Updates for Dollhouse are now drawing to a close. There is a Final Update coming, stay tuned for more details!
