Emotional Escape

EMOTIONAL ESCAPE

In an ordinary dollhouse, one toy awakens to find that he has come alive. And his fellow toys are suffering all kinds of emotional distress! He sets on a journey to set all the wrongs right, in order to escape the dollhouse and explore this new life he has been granted

Emotional Escape is a simple and cute puzzle game, exploring the inside of a dollhouse, where some mysterious happenings have left all of the toys in various emotional states. The player controls one of the toys, and attempts to bring peace and harmony back into this toy world by solving the emotion puzzles offered by the other toys.

The theme of this Game Jam was "Cute", and we wanted to play on that with links to chilchood, toys, adorable facial expressions and a sweet story.
