Evaluation

Play Things launched on May 8, 2026 as a free-to-play psychological horror game. The Normal Mode — featuring 19 handcrafted dolls and 4 endings — is fully playable at launch. However, the store description openly states that a second major mode called Endless Mode is "Not Yet Implemented." The developer describes Endless Mode as a substantial addition: randomly generated dolls, expanded tests, scripted and random events, and additional story content that picks up threads left open by the Normal Mode. This is a clear, developer-authored acknowledgment that significant content is still to come. There is no posted timeline for when Endless Mode will arrive, and no news posts or roadmap have been provided. The game is complete in its current Normal Mode form, but anyone waiting for the full experience the developer has described should expect additional content down the road.

Evidence

Store description explicitly labels Endless Mode as 'Not Yet Implemented,' describing it as a feature with randomly generated dolls, additional tests, events, and story content not covered in Normal Mode.

About this game

DESCRIPTION:

In this game, you'll be investigating a collection of dolls. Some ordinary, others hiding a dark curse. Through a series of tests, you must determine which dolls are merely toys and which conceal something sinister.

However, not everything is as it seems...

Normal Mode: Normal Mode (or Story Mode) always has the same dolls. These dolls have long descriptions and each doll has been specifically designed and written. The Normal Mode has 4 endings and 19 dolls to go through.

Endless Mode (Not Yet Implemented): Endless Mode features randomly generated dolls, from visuals, to the havoc they wreak. Endless Mode features more tests, tons of randomly picked events, scripted events and a lot of additional story elements, that may have been unanswered in the Normal Mode.

Estimated Play Time: 1.5 hours (for one ending) - Normal Mode

WARNING:

This is a horror game, it may not be for the faint of heart. It includes jumpscares and dark themes.

ADDITIONAL WARNING:

(if streaming) This game reads your PCs name at some point. Some people may not want this to be shown. So just a heads up!
