Doll Impostor News

Hello everyone! Thank you for keeping up with *Doll Impostor*! It's finally here! At last, we have *Doll Impostor* in multiplayer!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The official version will be available on November 30th, but for those who want to try the multiplayer mode now, you can use the beta "beta - beta" in Steam's beta options. It's important to share your feedback as soon as possible to help us fix any potential issues!

I remind you that the development has been documented every day on Patreon!

Currently, there are a few known bugs. They're minor but worth keeping in mind.

This update took about a full month of development, so it may have various errors. Major bugs have already been addressed in the closed beta, but please be aware of this.

Additionally, in the upcoming updates before the release date, I plan to develop Chat, Voice Chat, and an improved scare system, which will focus solely on scaring individual players rather than globally.



Every time you visit your refuge, it will be open for your friends to join and/or for you to invite them. The refuge will act as the online lobby. Only the host can select a game, and your friends will also be able to see all your dolls, trophies, and the customization of your refuge and caravan!

Currently, two modes are unavailable in Multiplayer mode:

• Time Trial
  
• Endless
  

However, I plan to expand the Time Trial mode and possibly create an exclusive multiplayer Endless mode.

The Career mode is also available; now you can open and solve cases together.



I've created a small board game in the new refuge room. Now you can play *Doll Who*, a classic game where you guess who someone is thinking about!



I've extended the refuge to include the Doll Hallway and the new room that contains *Doll Who*. I've also added a Doll Busters sticker, thanks to a user who recommended it during a stream!


To get this sticker, you need to unlock the Halloween achievement (you can obtain it by setting your system clock to a Halloween period: October 28th to November 4th).

Thank you so much to everyone who has joined us in this festival of fear! Many of you who have just arrived might be wondering what’s next in Doll Impostor.

I'm actively working on the cooperative mode, which is currently 98% complete, and I'll very likely have it at 100% today.

Once the cooperative mode is ready, I’ll work on a series of current and past fixes, and testing will begin.

If everything goes smoothly, we could see a closed beta this week, and if there aren’t too many issues, the open beta could launch next week or the following week for everyone who wants to try it out! This open beta could be available for about 15 days.
