Martha’s Dolls DEMO is a free-to-download demo of the horror game with the same name. Here, you investigate a series of strange disappearances in Martha’s house. There are dolls around the house and they are not as harmless as you think, for these playthings will do whatever it takes to prevent you from leaving this forsaken place.

Since it’s a demo, players should expect five to seven minutes of gameplay. Despite that, you will experience a lot of jump scares. If you’re not easily terrified of that, be sure to give Martha’s Dolls DEMO a spin.

With startling jump scares

Not much is known about Martha, except for the fact that she may be responsible for cursing a village. Apparently, only Martha herself can break the curse. As you explore Martha’s house and uncover its secrets in Martha’s Dolls DEMO, you will encounter life-like dolls, hear the eerie laughter of children, experience hair-raising jump scares, and potentially visit a remote village called Merphy Town.

You can use a night vision camcorder to illuminate pitch-dark areas, though be sure to monitor its battery level since you wouldn’t want to run out of power and spare batteries during your investigation. You’ll also be able to solve mind-boggling puzzles and find, examine, and obtain items. The keys, meanwhile, need to be obtained from the dolls. Thankfully, your inventory is not limited to a few slots. 

This heart-pounding horror game also boasts a comprehensive options page, complete with rebindable controls and dedicated audio and graphics settings. However, there are bugs present in the game. For example, a newly obtained item may not appear right away in your inventory, leaving players stuck or unable to access the settings menu. Freezing also occurs in the last room where you need to enter a code.

A title that hardcore horror gamers must pick up

Despite it being a demo, Martha’s Dolls DEMO is a promising title that will leave diehard horror gamers frightened. In addition to its interesting lore, it also boasts plenty of well-executed jump scares to startle even the most hardened players. The controls are rebindable, too, so you can play according to your comfort level. However, do expect some bugs in the game.
