The Doll Shop
A downloadable game for Windows
The Doll Shop is a hand-drawn narrative game – part romance, part horror – set in the Japanese countryside. Play as a young dollmaker who reunites with his childhood friend in an eerie snowbound village. Will you dare confess your secret?
THIS IS A COMPLETE REMAKE OF THE ORIGINAL GAME.
-------- NOW AVAILABLE! --------
You can also buy the game on Steam
The Doll Shop is the tale of a quiet, secretive dollmaker living in the Japanese countryside. When his childhood friend returns to the village, he must choose between his beloved dolls and the hope of a new life… if it’s not already too late.
● A Blend of Adventure Game and Visual Novel
Freely explore the village, enter homes and shops, and talk to the locals. But choose your words carefully – they may have consequences.
● An Emotional Journey
The Doll Shop focuses on the emotional states of its characters. There’s a strange comfort in its horror and twisted charm in its romance.
● A Unique Art Style
Every detail of the game is hand-drawn by Atelier Sentô, a comic artist duo inspired by the snowy landscapes of northern Japan, where they used to live.
● A Complete Remake
First released as a free prototype made during a masterclass with students, The Doll Shop has been entirely rebuilt with new artwork, music, and dialogue.
- Repair creepy dolls and reunite them with their owners.
- Explore a small Japanese village: visit the shrine, soak in the public bath, and more.
- Taste every ramen recipe at the local restaurant.
- 3 different endings. Find them all to unlock a hidden one!
- Available in English, French, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.

is there a build for mac ? or online if i buy
No, sorry. We made some tests with a mac build but it crashes on some versions of the OS, so we decided not to release it for now.
I’m pretty sure I’ve waited 10 years for your Coral Cave game by now
Thanks for your patience. We have created The Doll Shop to help fund the end of the development for Coral Cave.So fingers crossed!
I adore this game so much and as a collector, I really hope to have this game in physical version or some merchandise. Even i know how hard it is to make it possible, but damn how COOL it would be.
Thanks a lot for your kind words! We would love to have a physical version of the game. One day maybe? Fingers crossed!
a hand-drawn romance horror set in a snowbound village is such a beautiful combo. congrats on the remake demo, the art looks lovely
Thank you very much for your kind words :)
Heyo, I remember playing the old version of this game! Super awesome to see a remake! Is there possibly any way to also get the old version? I loved both of them, and I'd like to see the old version to have both of them.
Hi, thanks for your message. For now it is too close to the release of the remake but, as some point, why not? We'll think about it. :)
Awesome! And of course, I can get that! :) Thank you so much. Fell in love with this game so I can't wait to see the remake!
Hi Atelier Sentô, I'd love to help you bring the doll shop to Arabic gamers for free! If you're interested in an Arabic translation, please let me know your email or contact me at urbgamesplatform@gmail.com
Thanks a lot for your offer! We'll think about it :)
Made a video
Thanks for the video!
Thanks a lot for playing the demo! We're glad you have enjoyed it. The different endings will be available in the full game indeed. There will also be a post game to unlock. Thanks again for your kind words :)
