Dollhouse Presents: It Curses


To vary up gameplay, each part of It will curse you once they’ve been cut! Each one has a unique curse, so be wary. You might need to end up changing your loadout and strategy accordingly.

Enhancements belonging to the current part that is cut will be disabled to amplify the effects of the curse.

We are also going to overhaul some menus to support this new feature, as well as a few QoL changes.

Prepare to be cursed this Weekend!

Version 1.1.6C

ACHIEVEMENT UPDATE

Fixed the issues with certain achievements not unlocking. Some achievements may require the player to achieve the state once more to obtain it (ie. If the player needs to win 100 times with a nominee, they will need to play and win once more for the achievement to unlock).

TUTORIAL UPDATE

• Adjusted the location of the Playback Outline to account for the new map size
  
• Fixed the Skill Secure Station to show the skill associated with the station instead of nothing
  
• Disabled the colour on the dolls before they are introduced to avoid confusion
  
• Disabled health pack when Focused as it is just confusing information
  

GAMEPLAY UPDATE

• Rearranged exp position in the station so if you level up on securing a memory, the level up tutorial talk doesn't break the core sequence
  
• Added explosion particles to Emily puzzle so she goes kaboom
  
• Changed the curtains in the main menu to be darker so it's easier to read the text
  
• Increased size of Stars so it is easier to pick up
  
• Dolls now spawn in proper positions without floating in mid-air
  
• Dolls bases are added back in some cases where it was removed
  
• Removed analyzing functionality of Dolls inside the Detective Room
  
• Removed the Epilogue loading screen that appears transitioning into the final credits to avoid narrative confusion
  

MULTIPLAYER UPDATE

• Updated MP hint messages to properly explain some outdated mechanics
  
• Death screen now properly displays items lost
  

Emily wants to play hide and seek! Will you follow her into the darkness?
